Legumes Aid Hog Farmers in Reducing Feed Costs
The Midwest Division of the National Plant Food Institute says legume pasture can cut hog producers’ grain costs by up to 20 percent. Wisconsin tests show pasture pigs gain 1.34 pounds daily versus 1.28 without pasture, and pasture-fed pigs use 40 pounds less concentrate per 100 pounds weight gain. Acreage can support 15 to 20 pigs per acre seasonally. Pastures add calcium and vitamins and reduce parasite infections.

Potash Use After Legume Stand Established
Guidance notes that once a legume stand is established potassium can help sustain yields and quality. It recommends maintaining high soil fertility with annual maintenance applications of fertilizer to keep production strong.
Fall Treatment Saves Time
University of Missouri extension soils specialist Marshall Christy urges fall lime and fertilizer application to save time next spring. He notes fall top-dressing extends legume-grass life, may reduce reseeding costs, boosts hay and pasture yields, and eases field access with firmer soils. Soil tests guide nutrient choices.
