[QUOTE="regolith, post: 1288441, member: 9267"] There's no physical limit - as in, I can't see any real detriment in continuing this practice after high organic levels are reached; but at some point there will be declining returns in reward for reaching high organic matter. My belief - and this is open for discussion as my experience is mostly MIG of already improved pasture - is that once you have the desired results you can maintain the soil profile at less management effort and for better results, by regular rotational grazing of pasture at the optimal stages. Yes, rest periods and avoiding overgrazing are still important, but the end goal is maintenance of your soil/pasture qualities alongside efficient livestock production, not continual forage improvement. And with a different end goal, the means to achieve it may be a little different. [/QUOTE]
