From the Fact Sheet: This publication is intended to help producers meet animal forage needs in a rotational grazing system by mastering the use of a grazing stick to estimate pasture yield and pasture allocation. Download this fact sheet from the University of Kentucky.

From the Website: Select your specific mix for hay and pasture seeding. Access the online seeding rate calculator from the University of Wisconsin.

From the Fact Sheet: Kernza® can be managed for both grain and forage, providing hay or grazing opportunities. With deep roots that stay in the ground for three years or more, it has lower requirements for fertilizer and tillage, and reduces nutrient leaching that contaminates drinking water sources. Download the fact sheet from the University of Minnesota.

Pasture and hayfields require nutrients to reach peak productivity. These nutrients can be supplied from several sources including residual nutrients in the soil, the breakdown of manure and soilorganic matter, nitrogen (N) produced by N-fixation in legumes and commercial fertilizer.

From the Fact Sheet: The ultimate measure of forage quality is animal performance. Factors having the greatest impact on forage quality are forage species, stage of maturity at harvest, and (if forage is mechanically harvested) harvesting and storage techniques.
