[QUOTE="novatech, post: 579680, member: 5494"] Well to start with I may have missed something but I could not find where he was going to try and make a living on this place. He just wants some info on low input farming. The way grandpa did it was to have a variety of stock, and a variety of forage. The pasture was made up of different types of native grasses.and not only cool season legumes,clover, but also warm season legumes. He planted cow peas and alfalfa. You may try researching legumes for your area. Illinois Bundle Flower is one. There are a lot of low input native and naturalized grasses that will do well. Bahia and bluestem, Indian grass,and eastern gamma are some. A good place to see what will do well is abandoned pastures and along the road side. Keep in mind that low input also means low stocking rate. It's better to make money on a few than loose you A__ on a bunch. [/QUOTE]
