1. White clover patches are becoming a smother crop in some
of our pastures. It crowds out fescue, interseeded with red clover
and it crowds out summer annuals such as sorghum-sudangrass.
|
 |
2. Red clover in a three-year-old eastern gamagrass field.
|
 |
3. Red clover in a fescue pasture.
|
 |
4. Alfalfa in a six-year-old eastern gamagrass stand. Red
clover is dying out after three years in establishment.
|
 |
5. Fescues top grazed around a manure pile. Keenan says
that a quick movement of cattle through the fescue pastures in the
spring is a must if you are attempting the keep the fescue
vegetative.

About the Pasture Walk
This Pasture Walk was
organized by Keenan Turner, Pulaski County Agriculture and Natural
Resources Extension Agent. The Pasture Walk involves visiting a farm and
meeting with a farmer who is trying to maximize grazing and reduce the
need for baling hay. Some of these practices are unconventional and some
have not worked. This page is not a comprehensive overview of the trials
and errors. It is merely an introduction into the topic. If you have
questions regarding the Pasture Walk, please call or write Keenan Turner. |
