Well-managed pastures are Always the Best Crop for the environment, for the grazing animal, and for you. A well- managed pasture is a dense, healthy crop of grass and legumes that can provide a security blanket for the land, good nutrition for the animal, and more money in your pocket. Achieving a well- managed pasture does not take a big investment. It does require animal and plant knowledge, identification of your goals, some equipment, and practice.<\/p>\n\n\n
