[QUOTE="Banjo, post: 1458603, member: 17304"] Most farmers have more grass in the spring and summer(spring flush) than they can utilize so therefore they make hay out of the pastures/hayfields not needed for grazing. I started doing something just this year that looks very promising so far. That extra pasture that I don't need....which is about a 1/4 to 1/3 of the farm..... I just clip it. I clipped it about 4 or 5 times since about May. Roughly about once a month....that is putting down a tremendous amount of organic matter....fescue seems to love organic matter. Right now this area has a very good stand of fescue on it. I started grazing it about a week ago and it looks like I'll be able to graze it again around the first of the year along with the rest of the farm that has been recovering and will recover for the next 40 days or so. Next year I"ll do different part of the farm.....set aside and clip. [/QUOTE]
