Dair y pastures need renovation and fertilization
In early pastures the land was cleared for crops, but decades of grazing without adequate soil enrichment have reduced productivity. Methods include liming, fertilizing with bone dust or superphosphate, top-dressing, harrowing, reseeding, and selective mowing to remove weeds. Where plowing is impractical, use spring-tooth harrows and careful restoration to restore value. E. R. Towe notes selective grazing, weed control, and occasional hog or sheep eradicators as options.
