[QUOTE="Bluestem, post: 575706, member: 3269"] The Alfalfa,Red clover post got me thinking. A lot of information out there. Most of it seems to tell you, in so many words, that you need to spend a lot of money on your pastures to get such and such yields. I met a gentleman who hays over 1000 acres, close to 2000 I'm thinking. It has been in his family since the 1880's. They started out supplying the Army with hay. It has been hayed every year since that time. Little to no inputs. Which shows me- With properly functioning soil and careful management, you don't need a lot of expensive inputs. I have set his field as my goal. Though I won't get there in my life time, the next guy will be a little closer. There is a good article in the September issue of National Geographic on soil health. Give it a read if you get a chance. [/QUOTE]
