Higher Profits From Well Fertilized Legume Pastures
Illinois College of Agriculture reports farmers using legume grass pastures show higher profits and lower losses. Mosher analyzes 200 farms over 10 years. the top 60 used about a fourth pasture and fourth more fertilizer than less profitable farms. Pasture use cut grain needs by 45 pounds per 100 pounds of pork and reduced postweaning deaths by 18 percent, with alfalfa and clovers as key pastures. Phosphate and potash boost new stands and fall top-dressing improves winter survival and spring growth.

Plant Food Added in Fall Boosts Wheat and Hay Production
Agronomists urge fall application of 400 to 600 pounds of plant food per acre to boost wheat and meadow crops. Fertilizer choice depends on crop rotation and soil quality with phosphate and potash for legume-inclusive rotations and complete NPK blends for poorer soils. Nitrogen may be added when rotations include mostly small grains, corn or soybeans or when heavy residues like oats straw are incorporated.
