Face Lift for Pasture Pays in More Meat and Milk
The Middle West Soil Improvement Committee notes M22 dollars will flow to livestock and dairy farmers who renovate rundown permanent pastures this fall. Purdue University agronomists say renovated pastures double carrying capacity and reduce feed costs. Steps include killing old sod, liming soil, adding nitrogen phosphate and potash, and reseeding with legumes and grasses. Northern regions seed next spring. Southern areas can finish renovations this fall.
