Plant Food Boosts Winter Pastures Growth
Dr. Neal Pratt of the Texas Agricultural Extension Service urges adequate plant foods to develop healthy winter pastures and early grazing. Soil tests guide fertilizer amounts, with 60 pounds of nitrogen plus other nutrients before seeding and 80 to 100 pounds in eastern Gulf Coast areas. Additional nitrogen boosts late fall to spring grazing. county agents provide local guidance. Vegetables offer low calorie, nutrient rich snacks such as cucumber, carrot, celery, cauliflower, cabbage, and tomato wedges.
