[QUOTE="hillbillycwo, post: 740885, member: 13747"] I am considering doing one pasture at a time with renovation. Unless I get the grant money I applied for then I will do two this fall and no ammonia in the spring with frost seed clover for them. The other pastures and hay fields will get fescue(endofyte free) and red clover drilled in this fall around August after I take fall hay off. It may drive me to feed hay earlier than I want too but the next three years will more than cover the cost of the extra hay. And Dun just for you, the weather this spring and summer will drive the plan. Last year we took three cuttings off the fescue. To manage our rotational grazing we had to bale hay from some of our pasture. But then again the home farm is in proper balnce PH wise and fertillizer wise. I am trying to balance the hay production with the improvements what a pain in the you know. Thanks a bunch for the advice and the guidance. I am considering doing some clover this March in two small areas I have set aside as emergency grass. One is 1.5 acres and the other is about two acres. This will be an inexspensive trial. I will broadcast 10 pounds per acre in those areas and see what happens. I am also considering mixing in some clover seed into the feed I give twice a week as a way to scatter seed.
