There was a farm not too far from here that had grass that color all winter long. Cows would fertilize it but I think it might have been a different kind of grass to live through the winter. The farm got sold about 3 years ago and the grass doesn’t stay green like that now. It was a small pleasure to drive by on my way to or from OKC and see that much bright green in the dead of winter.

@antonioioio it gets below freezing here and the grass goes dormant, most people have Bermuda grass planted. I don’t know why that grass stayed such a brilliant green all winter. Maybe the cow manure that was on the pasture helped keep it warm.
