I would cut and bale but dont have a good reason why. Lol If it not a lot of acres it would be interesting to see what happens if you leave it.

I think this has not been cut, the clover just got so tall and heavy it got down.

Bale it.

By product from the zinc mine if i remember correctly is 110. From a rock quarry nearby its maybe 88.

Its from $28 to $35 here spread. If you have more than one option there can be a difference in the buffering effect of lime. Each place that sells it should have a sheet on it. A lime might be as much as 15% more or less effective according to the base rock. Clinchvalley86 has a lime near him...

I would spend on nothing but lime for now. Once you get your PH to 6.2-6.7 anything you add will respond much better.

Thats a lot of N for summer pasture.

Is the P and K numbers what are available or what's needed for the pasture? Yes, lime is definitely needed.

Never heard of it. Are they refunding you the full amount? If so great. What is AMS?

I have already been cutting the heads off on fescue in my pastures. Very early but its ready.

Do you have lots of clover there also?

Cowman82, you bring up some good points. For years i leased a lot of places and spent time and money making them better. Now i spend on my own land except for a few places close by that are free. My land went from what looked poor when i bought it 20 years ago to having the best grass around.

And get everything in writting.

In Virginia the extension agent has an estimated rate for each county. They figure by acre but there is so much variation in the pastures i figure it by animal unit.

I agree that everyone needs a soil test. I also have never seen a soil test on hay or pasture that didnt need something added. Its 1000 lb so grab it.

If its free heck yes. Sure wont hurt anything.

Picture he sent me today. Cows standing in belly deep grass but still reaching under the fence to eat.

My app is saying quackgrass but not with a high degree of certainty. Im not confident in what it is. I rode through some of my paddocks that havent been grazed and cant find any of it. But i sure got way more grass than cattle to eat it.

Im pretty sure you haven't sowed any so it would be great to know why the red clover has done so well. I have some white but not much red. Ask your Ag Extension Agent out and get his or her ideas. They will be wanting to have a farm tour there.

I promise you its not fescue. I rely on fescue 11 months of the year.
