How much successes have you had with this, and what grasses or legumes responded the best with this approach?

We let a pasture or 2 go fallow during the summer just for the reseeding/seedbank reasons. I'll clip them late summer and those will be the first that we'll start in the stockpiled rotation.CravinGrazin":29g02il8 said:Isn't letting pastures set seed periodically one of the primary benefits of rotational grazing? Greybeard really makes the point, right? Let it build some seed in the soil so it renews itself (going back to having a perennial vs. an annual) so the whole system is renewed.... I guess I was just wondering if I had missed something in the point that NWMOAngus had made. You sure do give up some tender grass by letting the plant mature, but that's the price of renewal with perennials isn't it? I'd sure be interested in learning more if I've missed the point.
Hey pdfangus, what are your plans for the fall seeded forage now that it's matured out? Are you concerned about the rye coming back on you?
