Fertilize Meadows Now For Better Grazing In 1952
Ohio State University agronomist D R Dodd urges farmers to top dress pasture and hay lands this fall with phosphate or phosphate and potash to boost next year’s yields. October and November are ideal for application, with fall feeding promoting stronger winter growth. If legumes are scarce, add 40 to 60 pounds of nitrogen per acre and adjust by fertilizer content. Pasture can be ready earlier by applying nitrogen to about one third as many acres as animal units require. On good meadow sods, the strategy increases profitability.
