Renewing North Dakota pastures with brome and alfalfa
An irrigation and soil management guide outlines breaking prairie sod in moist May to renew overstocked North Dakota pastures. It recommends sowing brome plus 1 to 2 pounds of alfalfa per acre, partially plowing, avoiding overgrazing, and using manure to improve moisture retention. It notes timothy and slender wheatgrass as alternatives but praises brome for early green-up and extended season. It also mentions soybeans as fodder and paint oil source, with early maturing Ogemon Ito San and Black varieties under test at the North Dakota Experiment Station. Livestock shows gain traction nationwide, with Esmond planning a July Shorthorn stock show and barbecue under local club and association leadership.

Sweet Clover Enriches the Soil
North Dakota farmers show growing interest in sweet clover as green manure. A Grand Forks study cites Illinois findings of 6.4 tons per acre with 12 tons roots, delivering nitrogen comparable to 25 tons of manure. German data notes potato yields rising when clover is plowed under. Recommendations urge plowing under by mid August to ensure rotting before cold weather, with heavy packing on dry land to speed decay.
