From the Publication: Pastures represent a largely untapped resource for farmers. More than one quarter of the Midwest’s agricultural land is in some form of pasture. Yet, 80% of these pastures suffer from poor, uneven fertility coupled with serious weed and erosion problems. Most pastures are continuously grazed throughout the season. However, continuous grazing results in the lowest possible pasture yields since the forage is not allowed to recuperate between grazing. Download the publication from Wisconsin Extension.
