Fertilize Early For Profitable Pasture
County Agent Daniel Roberts notes that irrigated pastures respond to high nitrogen with ample water, high phosphate and potash. Idaho experiments show best yields when up to ten tons of corral scrapings or well rotted manure plus 100 pounds of available nitrogen per acre are used and pastures watered every 10 to 14 days. In Franklin County, the University of Idaho mix with winter spring application produced an 165 day season and beef, lamb, and butterfat per acre. Farmers are urged to treat pastures like raw crops with proper fertilization irrigation and management.
