Fall pasture clipping

 I've heard it said, that one of the most important factors regarding your spring flush in the pastures is ...how you manage them during the fall season. What you do in the fall makes a huge difference in your grass in the springtime.

I wasn't 100% certain of the wisdom of clipping down the old dead/dormant weeds that grew during the summer drought we experienced this year. But I thought by the end of it, it's better for the weeds/forbs to lay down, and feed the soil, adding to the organic matter by composting under the grass, and legumes that were trying to grow from underneath. 


All-in-all, had a blast out there myself, and with two of my son's and with the tractor.
