[QUOTE="hayray, post: 888659, member: 3046"] Crop rotation pays off alot better on annual crops as oppossed to perennial pastures and hay fields. It is more economical to impliment meausre of pasture improvement such as frost seeding, no till, bale grazing, MIG etc. Cattle don't pay for expensive improvements like crop farming can, low input is the best way to go. 2) Most hay fields are one -2 grass species mixed with a legume in the North, getting too crazy about species diversity causes harvest issues, i.e., species maturity, dry down, regrowth - feeding palatibility - etc. 3. Regolith has some good points about pasture improvements but you are right, majority pay no attention to pasture improvements and this may because many producers have cattle as a accessory business and do not manage pastures as if their living depends on it.
