Diligent pasture maintenance is crucial to the health and productivity of grazing animals and livestock, pastured poultry, and sustainable agriculture. A well-executed pasture management program can prevent weeds from sprouting, enhance forage grasses, and extend pasture grazing seasons, while insufficient maintenance can negatively impact production systems, stocking densities and, ultimately, revenue and profitability. There are several techniques for sustaining a well-run pasture that promotes a healthy grass supply, reduced feed costs, and improved soil fertility. Following are some strategies and tools for effectively controlling critical aspects of property and range management to achieve the most productive pastures.
