Soil conservationist Rob Arbelger notes thousands of acres within the Fannin Soil and Water Conservation District are being sodded with Bermuda grass annually. He stresses proper pasture management after establishment, including stocking rates and fertilization, to protect investments and reduce hay costs by utilizing excess forage in fall and after frost.
They may be controlled by mowing, shredding, or the use of chemicals. Fertilizing is just as essential on the pasture as on a cash crop. Increased growth and food value offsets the expense of fertilizing many times over and insures a healthy, productive cover of grass. For further information contact your local Soil Conservation Service office.
