Farmer Converts Hard Pasture Near Pearis to Thick Grass
A Mahaska County soil district project helps Sjaardema farm near Pearis transform nearly barren bluegrass into dense pasturage. With lime, disking, a multi-clover seed mix, and controlled grazing, the field shows lush growth on slopes while erosion-prone spots are treated. The effort, praised by Lyall Mitchell, aims to boost pasture days and livestock carrying capacity with continued fields improvements and family participation.

Seed Bromegrass Soon Amid Ideal Iowa Fall Conditions
Iowa late summer and early fall offer ideal conditions for establishing bromegrass, especially Aug 15 to Sept 4a. Pest control may be needed where grasshoppers are abundant. Peterson recommends bromegrass with sweet clover, seeded 2 lb per acre, always with a legume, and mixed with alfalfa for late summer plantings. Fall seedings follow small grain crops with stubble land prepared by disking, harrowing, and rolling to reduce erosion. Mixing seed with oats aids planting, nitrogen fertilization helps bromes respond, and careful seedbed preparation improves stands.
