[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 1496505, member: 4362"] The short of it is you cannot just take from the soil and not give back. I'm speaking more about hay land than pasture since haying takes so much from the soil. Pasture is different since cattle really don't take much of anything from the soil and replace nearly everything they take with their manure. I don't fertilize pasture land because I prefer slow steady more nutritious growth rather than a quick flush of growth then it becoming rank and less nutritious. Before you go whole hog with the "snake oil" try some band strips in your pasture with it and see just how long it actually affects the grass compared to non sprayed. Like most all foliar feeds you will probably see a two week flush in color. Next time try spraying just some liquid iron chelate which will cost you about $0.50/acre and compare the results of this to the snake oil. We use a lot of foliar feeding here on vegetables and it does do some good but it is in no way a replacement for fertilizer its just more for eye appeal and finishing. [/QUOTE]
