[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 1158504, member: 4362"] I have hay fields, combination fields and straight pasture. I manage each different depending on the nutrient use. Most of the pastures require very little input. Just keep the pH in balance and the phosphorous and potassium in balance and let nature apply the nitrogen through rainfall and clover. In areas where the soil type is poor I fence these off and use as a sacrifice area where I feed hay in the winter with the intent of adding organic matter to the sandy soil to build it up. After a few years I will move the sacrifice area to another weak area then replant the old sacrifice area in permanent pasture all the while trying to build the soil and make the farm more productive. Old man once told me, the foundation of enterprise is your soil. Take care of that and it will take care of you. [/QUOTE]
