Interseeding and no-till pasture renovation offer opportunities for improving pasture productivity. Production of low yielding pastures can be doubled or tripled with the introduction of more productive grass or legume species.

As you plan the pasture renovation, start with your pastures with the best soils and work down to the poorest ones. The better soils will have the greater potential improvement from renovations. In those pastures, evaluate the soils and select forage species which are suited to those soils.

When of Bessie begins to give you sidelong, disapproving glances—and your field's resident groundhog packs up and moves—you know it's time to renovate that old sodbound pasture ... Renovation, however, requires equipment, and the heavy disks or spring-tooth harrows that are normally used for the job are quite...

Background: John and Deb Milbocker farm 400 acres devoted to hay and pasture and 100 beef cow/calf pairs. Ninety-three acres are pastured using controlled rotational grazing. Barriers to pasture productivity on the Milbocker farm were depleted sandy soils and dry weather.

The question that a cattle producer must ask is "Will the gains that I get in terms of the productivity of my cow herd be enough to cover the costs of pasture renovation?" Of course, the answer to that question will depend upon a number of factors.

The key to preventing the need for renovation is good pasture management. Controlled grazing with adequate rest periods for the pasture and a proper stocking rate should be some of the main tools in pasture management.
