Ya, grazing on hay fields other than late fall is pretty counter productive around here.

If you are feeding on your hay fields during the winter you are getting those same benefits to some extent.

It does help for sure. But I can’t feed on all the hay acres, and feeding and/or plant species will not (near as I can tell) add something that was never there ie: Mn, boron, etc.

Be real careful with boron. A tiny bit can be good. I little too much can be a train wreck.

I never claimed to be a soil "expert" but that is a large part of how I made my living for 20+ years.
