Good Pasture Is
Key To Success In
Livestock Prod.
Snipes Says Time And
Money Spent On Pastures
Bring Farmers
Good Cash Returns
Adequate pasture is essential
fnr sureessful livestock oroduc
tion. The cost of establishing good
pastures in labor and materials
naturally varies depending on a
great number of factors. However,
practical farm experiences show
that time and money required to
establish good pastures pay the
producer of livestock a high return.
Farmers know that good
pastures are needed to increase
and economically feed their livestock.
In fact, most farmers in
the county have increased the
productivity of their pastures to
the point where with some additional
attention a considerable increase
in livestock could be economically
maintained.
Practical demonstrations have
proved that it pa^s to properly
lime, fertilize, and disk before
seeding. Therefore, a section of
the pasture should be prepare?
each year until the entire pasture
has been gone over and made to
produce an abundance of high
quality grasses and legumes.
A large proportion of the cost
of lime, phosphate, potash, and
? e ?* _ t_ i; _ u : ?
seen ior esiauiiMimg a guuu jjaoture
may be secured through the
Production and Marketing Administration
(AAA) by farmers.
It is just as essential to properly . r
prepare and fertilize the pasture as
it is for other crops. Partners expecting
to seed Matures this spring
i should do as possible.
I All f*rmeg*Sre "adlvlied to visit
the AAA cSftce as Soon as possible
and place ^%elr order for lime.
Pastures may be ^imed any time,
but the sooner the better since a
considerable time is require^ for
f much of the lime to becoifltjtoaU>
able. Land expected to be seeded
to alfalfa or other legumes in
> August and needing lime should
- likewise be limed as soon as pos1
sible.
Permanent pastures may be
^ established by the use of one to
two tons of lime, 600 pounds of a
2-12-12 fertilizer disked into the '
1 top few inches of soil and seeded
to a mixture of two pounds of
ladino clover, twelve pounds of
' orchard grass, or fescue. A liberal
j application of 0-12-12 or phosphate
, should be used on limed, well es[
tablished clover and grass pasture
