TIPS FROM EXTENSION TRIPS ON PASTURE AND LAWN MANAGEMENT
Moisture and cool weather signal actions for clover and rye pasture. Remove ties across excess clover to aid survival. Apply limited nitrogen to young clover as it grows, monitor moisture, and manage nitrogen use to prevent weed problems. Rye should be kept cut and managed with preventive nitrate fertilization and reseeding timing. Lawn and cattle notes discuss timely grazing, seedbed prep, and soil health with fertilization.
