[QUOTE="J. T., post: 240350, member: 289"] If we'll get into the mindset that we're [b]grass farmers[/b], then we'll understand that we've got to do what it takes to produce that grass. Here in the South, we have virtually no native grasses that can be depended upon to provide forage for our cows. Fertilizing pastures keeps the grass growing which keeps much of the Southern pastureland from reverting back to hardwood forest. In other areas of the country, there are native grasses and these regions are not heavily forested, so pasture maintenance will vary from Alabama to Idaho to the Texas Panhandle. If I did not maintain a fertilizer program on my pastures and never bushhogged again, I'd have 4 ft. tall sweetgums, persimmons, and Virginia pines in as many years where I've got tall fescue growing now.
