Pasture renovation costs and long term carryover benefits
Research reports average costs for seedbed prep and mowing at about eight dollars per acre. A good renovation program yields carryover benefits, with renovated pastures continuing high yields for years. Using birdsfoot trefoil as the legume may extend carryover benefits up to ten years. For kitchen use, uncooked heart and gizzard of a small broiling chicken can be brushed with melted butter and broiled in the final 15 20 minutes of cooking.
