[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 740645, member: 1715"] I think there are a couple drawbacks to not applying N. N is not available when soil is cold in spring or fall, and some grasses are heavy users of N. I usually put on 40# per acre as soon as I can drive on sod, and consider a second application on anything I stockpile in the fall. The mob grazing guys brag about how they increase the organic matter a couple percent in one year, but I do not understand how that is possible :???: I realize they are putting more litter on the ground (due to lower forage utilization) compared to someone who is grazing at a shorter height... Have you seen any believable soil test data on mob grazed ground? [/QUOTE]
