[QUOTE="dawnrogerl, post: 624612, member: 6679"] I need some advise on over seeding some land for pasture. I have 3ea. - 4 acre tracts that I want to rotate as pasture. The land has not been tilled for 10-15 years and is in North Carolina. It is in very poor condition. The present growth on it is a mix that the cattle will eat except for the sage grass. There is a lot of it. We sent in a soil sample and the land needs about 250 lbs of N & Potash per acre. I am also told that the N will take care of the sage grass problem. I don't think that I should put that much fertilizer on at one time, (plus I probably could not afford to). I do not know the max. that I can put on without killing the grass I have. I will be seeding it to Bermuda and in the fall I will over seed one partial to rye. Here are some of my questions. 1. How much should I put on at one time? 2. How long do I need to wait before turning the cattle in after fertilizing? 3. What about any problem with the cattle grazing pasture that a large amount of N has been applied? 4. Will over seeding rye in the fall effect the growth of the Bermuda and other grass in the spring? Your comments will be appreciated. Thanks [/QUOTE]
