[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 256987, member: 3162"] Good question. The answer I would pose is that fertilized grass will be better rooted and more suited for next season. Boron in the trace minerals drives the roots deep. Where as grain is a one shot deal. My pastures improve every year. Irrigation is not a "norm". It is a drastic measure. I could sell out the herd and sell horse quality hay for a premium, but that is only this year. Next year everyone could have hay. Especially the folks who have now sold completely out. We have had less than a half inch rain since late April and its been over 100 degrees for something like 28 days. [/QUOTE]
