Farmers urged to give pastures break
Manitoba Agriculture grassland chief Dave Campbell urges farmers to rest native pastures in May and June to protect growth. He notes grazing too early reduces yield, advises movable cattle, hay feeding, and a soil-tested plan with nitrogen and phosphorus. Legumes and oats are suggested as quick forage options if pasture looks bleak.
