FORAGE TIMELY TIPS FOR JUNE
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 height.
When managed, johnsongrass and crabgrass can provide high quality summer forage.
Begin grazing native warm-season grasses. Start at 18-20" and stop at 8-10 inches.
