Where all the silages harvested at what is considered the optimum nutritional stage for that species? If that is the case it is hard to believe that the barley came out above the tritcale.

I have been watching video's of Farmers who depend heavily on rotating their livestock to maintain and improve the fertility of their pastures. Sometimes some of them will overseed something. But it seems alot of them are very very reluctant to break up what they already have. Now they will seed some kind of mix on bare ground though. As for the use of chemicals, one guy I watch said if it's dead/really bad (he likes to lease farms and sometimes they are in rough shape) he will sometimes give them a jumpstart with a one time application of lime. But it seems that more and more are trying to move away from chemicals.

You guys sure do a good job. I could watch you all day.

In the winter months, I feed on the pasture, with off farm purchased, haylage/baylage/silage (call it what you want). To keep the cattle from defecating on the feed, I pull a hot-wire or rope between two ring top posts about 40 feet (12 meters) long, pass loop through hole and over ring to secure, then drop feed (as deep as you want down the length). The cattle will feed, on each side of wire, like a trough. Move the posts for every feeding to spread nutrients across the pasture. Best regards

The biggest advantage will be condition of the farmland after swath grazing. Also not having to haul manure or spend big bucks on silaging and feeding.

Lovely vid. you're so Friendly. See ya xD

And this is a guy, who was involved with this "experiment," and he did it to learn for himself... learning on someone else's money! 99.9% of what he's spewing, is common sense! Nothing more than straw thrown on the ground, and then he acts surprised that they didn't gain as expected! And he even mentions... protein!!! Imagine that!!! But, somebody is/was paying him, so, he had to do something to make himself seem relevant and intelligent. It's just amazing that he didn't mention BRD and other health issues from the "straw" ration!! Attempting to background and pre-condition calves... while feeding straw!! Yep, I found another one! Reality!

Which city. For climate compare. Thanks

Mabe this guy should watch some Gabe Brown videos when worried about weed pressure and how to deal with it. Also, lots of farmers would view what he considers "undesirable residue" as armor for the soii, which, along with cow feces/urine, will compost into fertitlity that'll give back year after year. Oh, never mind, they're applying granular N fertilizer. Mr Brown has thoughts on paying money for the Earth's most abundant element as well.

So good idea minus the spray. And gmo corn. Wtf are farmers thinking these days... How bout a video for small farmers that still do things the correct way .

hmm goats would probably eat that pea better.

What is straff? Google says it's a soccer penalty.

Great series of videos on CowProfit$ Nice work!

I enjoyed the pasture rejuvenation series. I suspect if pasture was given care as if it was fine lawn, cultured pastures would be eternal, like fine lawns.

spraying pastures? LOL how about proper management and building soil? also try forage trees for drought situations.

I would like to see this experiment done with mowing rather than chemical control.

corn is a grass. look it up people. it's parent is grass

I think you'll find a much better stand of alfalfa if you use the second bite principle in reverse. There are 3 ways to accomplish this. One, the original way it was discovered, is by mob grazing one day the whole field taking approx 50% of the forage, then Mob grazing it again right to the ground exactly 5 days later. The other way is to mow it twice with a bush hog mower, again exactly 5 days between with the final mowing right to the ground. The third way is to mob graze it once, and 5 days later mow to the ground. Then run your planter into that and I think you'll find much better results than either of your two trials, especially long term. More information can be found at USDA-SARE 12 Aprils method developed by Tom Trantham. He developed it for his dairy herd, but it would work for you just as well. Sustainable 12 Aprils Dairy Grazing The other way that doesn't use a mower and just uses grazing can be found here. milkwood.net/2010/12/07/why-pasture-cropping-is-such-a-big-deal/

NO SPRAYING POISON! JUST drill after grazing or mowing. PERIOD!

Yum ROUND UP ready GMO corn and toxic herbicide. Herbicides accumulate in fats of animals after digesting plants treated with toxic herbicides , yummy so healthy.

Cows should eat grass. Not corn.

as well as costs for your electric fence

did you calculate in the cost of hay when figuring your overall daily costs?

they want to gain as much control of no -till .

Can't have a certified organic product with a herbacide added.

They did all treatments with no herbicide burn down as a control. Even with herbicide, the grasses did recover and they ended up with a mixed stand.

I agree. I'd like to see a no chemical comparison with mowing or different grass types.

Why spray poison? Why not seed after the pasture has been grazed, or mowed to mimic grazing? Isn't the idea to improve pasture not kill it and replace it with an alfalfa field? Seems like a backhanded roundup sales pitch to me. This is an example of science to promote the chemical industry, instead of science to find a better way. What do I know I'm just a dumb farmer.
