New Seedings


Jeremy and I put in several new seedings this spring with the hope of improving the productivity of the pastures. Having done it in the past, I'd not been satisfied with the results. This time, we used seed specifically bred for use in rotational pastures and the results are fantastic. the above seeding is made up of ryegrass, orchardgrass, ladino clover and chicory. It is incredibly lush. It grows back in about half the time. The cows love it and are very productive on it. It's thrilling to have pasture that looks like this in August, and it has injected new life into a tired old farm.
