Mid West Soil Improvement Committee urges renewing wornout pastures this fall. Start by killing old growth, use weighted discs on heavy soils, then field cultivate, leave clods to prevent erosion, spring seed with a cultipacker seeder, apply 400+ pounds of fertilizer per acre, and establish legumes for strong stands and faster spring growth.
Dr. William A. Albrecht of the University of Missouri urges expanded fertilizer use to sustain soil fertility and lift yields. He argues starter fertilizer near the surface helps early growth but deeper nutrients are needed as roots reach moister zones for high protein crops and long term profitability. He stresses balanced soil treatments guided by tests to improve efficiency and returns.
Missouri College of Agriculture reports fertilizer carryover enhances yields for all crops in rotation. At George Stine farm Ozark County three-year plots show phosphate and potash boosted Ladino clover and sweet clover growth. alfalfa yields in Wisconsin tests rose 2% with 500 pounds per acre of 0-9-27 topdressed two years earlier.
