Protecting pasture investment through smart grazing plan
Spring pasture care requires controlled grazing with seedling protection and rest periods. Rotational grazing, shifting spot location, and proper mowing support growth, reduce erosion and weeds while maintaining forage quality. Spreading manure unevenly can affect palatability but lowers parasites.
Nutrient runoff concerns prompt calls for farm waste controls
The article argues for strict nutrient management to prevent nitrogen and phosphorus runoff from farms, poultry operations, and even homes and golf courses. It urges education, accountability for wrongdoing, and careful plans to protect Frederick County waterways while avoiding blanket policing of the entire agriculture sector.
