Jerry-keep us updated on what works best.
What type of switch grass are you favoring at this point?
Bill, do the deer bed in your WSG in North MO?
If a guy chooses to do nothing, and does not burn the switch, and lets the switch do its own thing. What, can happen that is really that bad?

Mowing will usually suffice when burning is not an option, mid to late May work's best here 1
We use rotary batwings, they work great but flail mowers may better albeit more expensive. There are difference's between for certain but I'm not sure what the advantage would be in prairie grass? Flail mowers give a "finished" look while rotary mowers can handle brush, stumps and rocks.When it comes to mowing CRP do you use a Flail Mower or a Rotary Cutter? I will need a mower for my CRP and have been reading other sites where Flail Mowers are getting much better reviews then Rotary cutters for prairie grass. What have you experienced?
What happens if you leave NWSG go with out burning or mowing??Mo, that is the question I am trying to answer right now. I'm into 5 years without burning and doing okay so far. I mow when I think I need to and do some spot spraying at places I think it is needed. Ask me that question in 5 more years, and I might be able to give a better answer.
