Pasture Improvement Plan and Costs for Renovation
The Pasture Improvement program outlines soil and water conservation guidance for pasture renovation. It notes costs typically range from 25 to 10 to 25 dollars per acre depending on fertilizer and lime needs, with benefits lasting several years and costs spread over time. Using birdfoot trefoil can extend benefits, while plowing and planting help prevent soil loss on fragile land. Contact the County Extension office in Emmetsburg for more details.

They note the market remains uncertain, with gains possible at times, and urge careful study of both cash and futures markets before hedging. A May 27 Iowa Farm Outlook discusses the topic.
