Pasture Management Tips For Barron County Farmers
Barron County District Conservationist Gene Hausner urges nitrogen fertilization to boost carrying capacity in dry years. He cites 80 to 100 pounds of nitrogen per acre plus phosphorus and potassium or 400 pounds of 20-10-10 per acre without soil tests. Rotational grazing and revised pasture layouts could raise forage yields from 3,000–4,000 pounds per acre for bluegrass to 4,000–6,000 for legume-grass mixes.
