FORAGE TIMELY TIPS FOR MAY
Continue hay harvests. Minimize storage losses by storing hay under cover.
Clip pastures for weeds and seedheads as needed.
Slow rotation allowing for a longer recovery period.
Use portable fencing to decrease paddock size and increase paddock number.
Do NOT graze below the minimum desired residual height.
Crabgrass, a warm-season annual grass, can provide high quality summer grazing. Remember crabgrass needs some annual soil disturbance to keep coming back.
