I am buying row crop ground in Northern Ohio (My only choice for the area we want to live in). What are your suggestions for getting that ground converted to pasture? Is a drill the best option to get grass established? Thank you!
@gregjudyregenerativerancher
@gregjudyregenerativerancher 3 жыл бұрын
A drill will give you a better stand of grass. Better seed to soil contact. Best of luck to you. Don't put the clover in the new seeding until you get a good stand of grass established. The clover will kill out your new grass stand by shading it out. You can always come back later this fall or next winter and broadcast over your new grass planting.

You are absolutely right about feeding out on the land to raise PH levels. We have been feeding hay on our land for 4 generations and no lime or additives and our soil tests have been in the 6-8ph levels. I know this is over a long time and we never did much for synthetic fertilizer all those year

Our farm was used for years as a 'recreation' property. It was clear cut, dozed, and then used for ATVs for about 10 years. It is nothing but broomsedge. Since we moved here we have been rolling out junk hay which has helped a little. It's time to add animals though. Thanks for this timely video!

Bones=Calcium Carbonate=Lime ish. Deer season I acquire many deer carcasses from deer processor to feed my LGDs. Those carcasses are scattered on the Broom Sage areas. Rodents eat the bones and scatter and digest the bones = “Lime” from the bones gets added, slowly, to the Broom Sage areas. In addition I feed square bales in these Broom Sage areas.

The timing on this was perfect! My husband and I were talking yesterday about what did we need to do to our new place to improve the soil and get rid of broomsedge.. all we knew was to spread lime, and, of course, when we put cows on it, we’d rotational grazing. I burned a couple of piles of round bale remnants last week.. Since it is now spring, after a tough winter, I’m not sure where we’ll be able to find quality hay from this past year to help improve our soil

In Chicagoland, I am jealous of your acidic soil. For five years I have been putting surfer and azalea plant food azalea nitrogen and it is all I can do to get the front lawn to a 7.0 PH. Soil test a few years ago came back at 7.6 PH and low potash. Tap water tested 8.2 PH. This is why I hate watering! Plenty of rain this spring but usually by July the hot days force me to water with alkaline water. Bedrock! Quarries all around! Kentucky Blue Grass prefers 6.5-6.75 from I have gathered.

my reading suggested to me that buckwheat, rye grasses, vetches (and clover) seed under the hay before cattle... these plants give root exudates that encourage (feed) the right kinds of bacteria to break down the phosphosus available in the soil (rock) minerals making organic (usable) P available for next season

Beyond that, I'm not sure since I have just bought the land and not planning to run cattle at this point. A neighbor will cut the hay, but it appears that continuous hay bailing may be part of the problem? In a year of two, I'm thinking about hair sheep and maybe a few head of cattle?

@BoomhauerWorldwide
@BoomhauerWorldwide 3 жыл бұрын
Standing broomsedge is a sign of soil fertility, or lack there of. But also an indication of how/when the fields were grazed or cut. As broomsedge is a warm season grass, Grazing problem fields in the late spring and through summer creates a perfect opportunity for it to thrive as the cattle will selectively not eat it. On hay fields, a late spring or early summer cutting will give broomsedge and other warm season grasses a good window of hot/dry weather to out-grow other grasses during this time. I would rotate cattle off the problem areas entirely in the spring and allow your fescue, clover, or in my case Timothy to make a stand and remain though the summer. Preventing or slowing the growth of lesser quality warm season grasses like broomsedge. This stock-pile could then be grazed down in the fall or harvested for hay, and broomsedge will not have had an opportunity to grow in the first place.

@rockinghorselivestock2491 3 жыл бұрын
I am not familiar with Acacia, unless you are referring to catclaw. I have seen pasture in Mexico that was grazed with very high density at the right time, for short duration. In the more brittle environments the soils can hold a very viable seed bank for native grasses. Those native grasses on one ranch I saw in Chihuahua came back so strongly that over time they began to drought out the mesquites. In case you dont know mesquites and catclaw if that is what you are referring to, can be important browse for cattle. The idea may be, through grazing management, to develop a balance of browse plants and native grasses.

Greg, I just lease a pasture with pockets of this broom sedge on about 1/3 of pasture. I have a 3 year lease and is not renewable. What is your recommendation to do with it or do nothing. Located in central Florida.

Unroll hay on it during the dormant season. It will help grow more grass at the least cost.

As Greg has noted before--Tennessee is FULL of this stuff. I've been really noticing all the fields/pastures when out driving and every over-grazed pasture, and every over-hayed field is full of it. I know how to fix it. FEED ATOP that mess!

Do you have Foxtail on your place? If so, is it addressed in the same fashion?

In my experience fox tail likes over grazed pastures, and is not an indicator of poor fertility. I think if you graze your fox tail area at different times then you have been and leave more residual it will go away. It's an annual, and it's fairly short if you don't have giant fox tail, so think about when your seeing it go to seed and try and have the grasses you like be tall enough to shade it.

Need to graze it hard and graze it young. March- mow it June 10th graze it all the way down July 1st or when there is regrowth graze it again and again and again...

And conventional practices, as well as many "professional opinions" will lead most to "treat Broomsedge" with glyphosate and call it a day. That's the silliest and most self-destructive cycle any farmer could ever volunteer for. Only thing that approach will guarantee is dead soil, and stronger Broomsedge come next grow season
