Dairy Improve Quality Of Pasture Sods
Ohio State University expert C W Gay argues pasture sods need feeding re seeding and cultivation like any crop to become a profitable farm section. He notes grain on pasture enhances soil fertility if manure is properly distributed and not piled in heaps that kill grass and attract rank growth. Rolling displaces soil around roots while dishing thickens stands and bare spots should be reseeded. Top dressing in spring helps. avoid cross contamination of manure among stock types and apply cattle manure to corn ground or plowed land.
