Rotating Pasture System Boosts Alfalfa Yields in Southwest
The U S Department of Agriculture endorses a rotation pasturing plan in Arizona to protect alfalfa stands. On a Phoeniz area 160 acre farm, dairy cows graze in periodic fields, with dry stock and young cattle used to clean up residues, yielding 18 mature cattle equivalents year round and 260 tons of surplus feed. A Yuma area farm on 140 acres supported 141 cattle for 17 months, producing surplus alfalfa and $1,840 in hay value. The program cuts weeds, sustains stand health, and reduces losses, with only three head lost in twelve months.
