Improve Range Production By Mechanical Treatment
Agronomist notes eastern Wyoming trials show pitting increases grazing capacity by about one third. An Archer Field Station development uses an eccentric disc to create surface pits like a waffle, holding water and renovating range plants. Sheep production rose from 29.5 to 39.6 pounds of lamb per acre annually on pitted pastures, with 50 percent more perennial grass remaining. Costs range 20 to 50 cents per acre and a 10 foot disc can pit 40 to 50 acres daily.
