Maybe it is, but that's what we've done for years. We generally hay different pastures each year but only one cutting. When I do a soil test in the fertilzer year there are times that the field doesn;t actaully require anything. It is still within the acceptable range for the type of grass/forage being grown on it. It's towards the low end, but still within range.

The original poster was talking hay fields, not a rotation between hay and grazing. I do the same on those types of fields but hay fields that never have cattle on them need nutrients every year.
I am like the guy from east Texas that posted. If you want hay you put out about 400# acre of 23-7-14 for each cutting. This is for coastal bermuda
