Pasture Improvement

Glenn took the opportunity of yesterday's snow day to over seed the pastures with clover.

The light snow cover was valuable in two ways. First, as Glenn broadcast the clover seed, the snow provided an obvious record of the pasture he already covered as tracks from his 4-wheeler offered the beneficial evidence of territory completed.  Second, as the snow melts, the seed sinks into the soft earth, where it stays waiting for ideal germination conditions.  Proper timing for the seeds to germinate and grow will be provided by Mother Nature.

Many times, farmers are afforded with easy, less expensive alternatives to many tasks, when they choose to work with nature.

Another one of those win-win situations….
