[QUOTE="Chuckie, post: 104046, member: 637"] I am not sure how things go in your area, but in Tennessee, I am coverting 18 acres of crop land into pasture. With liming, seeding, fertilizing, fencing, running water to the area, it is going to run me around $12,000. I am not sure of the grasses and legumes that grow there. I will be seeding with orchard grass, clovers and bermuda grass. If I were in your area, I would go to my County Extension agent and the NRCS (Natural Resouce Concervation Service) and tell them what you are planning on doing. I work with a man from the ASCS office and he tells me what is going on there. There are programs that will fund you up to 90% of the cost to change your land over. They have a 6 year program that you remain in, and it requires rotational grazing. All of their practices are good to follow. It lets you get more out of your land per acre. I am not sure how Texas parralells with Tennessee on thier programs. [/QUOTE]
