My ground has had cattle on it for 60 years or so. There have been periods where it sat idle and hay taken off it. It is not naturally fertile land. It erodes very easily with minor disturbance or tilling.
I have about a 50/50 mix of native Bermuda and Fescue. I have a pretty good population of white clover. I have a lot of different grasses and weeds in the mix that cows will not eat.
I am coming up on my third year on the place. How do I bring the Fescue back as my majority grass? What other perennials work here (NE Arkansas)?
I am doing the soil test, lime, fertilizer, chicken litter thing.
I am about to plunk down chunk of change on a small no till drill. Is that smart? Is it necessary?
How many of you use a no till drill regularly?
