This is our fourth summer on our property. We have a seven acre area in the back the previous owner leased for row crops. After talking with neighbors, I believe the field was first planted around 2010 or 2011, prior it was lush pasture.
I was fortunate to fall into a situation I couldn't refuse with some cattle and am turning the field back to pasture. In February/March threw 200 lbs of fescue over the field. I'm currently feeding the cattle hay and make sure to place the hay in a different area daily because I know the hay has seeds and can help seed the field.
I'm under no illusions of the project I have on my hands getting this field back to pasture. The fescue is taking nicely. I'd like to know what else needs to done, other than patience.
Thank you.
