Farm Hints for Pasture Planning in Southeast Idaho
Agricultural note by Albert Mylrole advises choosing between permanent and temporary irrigated pastures, with seed mixes for a lasting field. For permanent pasture mix 16 pounds per acre: six brome, four orchard grass, four crested wheatgrass, one white clover, one alfalfa. Sudan grass suits short term 1–2 years but needs May sowing and about 30 pounds per acre seed. Seed alone yields best stands. avoid pasture when using a companion crop.
