I have much longer stand life on one farm compared to the other. Better drainage and running stockers rather than cows makes a big difference. I know some folks never renovate, but since I am building soil fertility, and I get quite a bit of compaction with pairs, I do not think this is always the best approach. I am tempted to renovate one pasture per year - - bale grazing it the previous winter, picking rocks , growing one year of grain using the N credit, and then seeding it back to a grass/clover mix.
Have you been able to pencil out a justification for a rotation like this?
