Industry spokesmen describe Cascade Soil-Aid as a forest humus soil conditioner made from bark mulch. The product retains a coarse texture to retain moisture and aerate roots, includes nitrogen, and aims to replace waste with a valuable gardening soil enhancer used in large Northwest planting projects.
An acre of average mountain meadow or pasture land yields about 28 dollars worth of beef at 20 cents per pound. Fertilization water and harvest management raise this to 104.80 dollars per acre a gain of 76.80 dollars. These results come from intermountain studies sponsored by United States Steel with ranchers and agencies and are featured in the film Profit on the Mountain. The studies reflect growing concern among mountain state agricultural experts over competitive pressures facing ranchers and beef growers.
A January Idaho study by John Niebergall reports 40 pounds of nitrogen per acre raised seeded range hay from 3,235 to 7,520 pounds per acre. With correct harvest and irrigation, first-cut yields rose from three to four tons per acre, increasing carrying capacity to four cows per acre for a season, and profits rise accordingly.
University of Idaho agriculture experts outline how to tell if crops need nitrogen. Visual cues pale green or yellowing and stunted growth. soil tests show total and available nitrogen but not long term supply. Use on farm strip tests and adjust rates to avoid waste and ensure yields.
Idaho farmers have tripled their nitrogen fertilizer use in five years to about 15 000 tons annually, per the University of Idaho extension service. Nitrogen boosts growth and yields but must be used judiciously to avoid excessive vegetative growth, delayed maturity, and disease susceptibility while aiding residue humus formation and moisture use efficiency.
