[QUOTE="Chuckie, post: 112112, member: 637"] I would for sure take soil samples after spreading the chicken litter, but I would let it sit for a bit. Manure on top of the ground is not absorbed as much as if it is tilled in the ground. I would get a head start on those blackberries. Or any other weed that seems to want to take over. And I would definitely add clover to what ever I planted if it will grow and live in your area. I would definitely look into the Durana clover. It stays up in the heat according to the Universities that have been doing studies. Clover adds nitrogen back into the soil, and also ups your protein in your forage greatly. This will also put the pounds on the cattle. Mr. Billy ran some pictures of his Durana clover fields if you do a search. It is a very strong growing clover and will compete with bermuda. I will be planting this in all my pastures this fall. I am not familiar with prairie grass. [/QUOTE]
