Rye, clover, turnips and radishses during the grass dormant phase helps keep my goats and chickens eating through the winter here in alabama

Thanks for making this video. I'm getting ready to turn an old pine tree farm into pasture and this was the info I was looking for

A chain harrow you will find much more suited to pasture work. Hope you keep growing and sharing !

[pabloprppena]

Very informative. I liked the way you showed and explained the whole process. Appreciate your video and your time.

That looks easy enough! We are buying a 4 acre farm and need to plant a 2 acre pasture for our new jersey calves to graze.

Great short video - straight to the point. Hi from Australia 🙋‍♂️

[kurtbrown]

Great video - we are doing that same thing - clarity land and working to get grasses established - always helpful to se other doing the same!

Great instructional video! I just bought wooded land that I’ll be converting to pasture and this video answers several questions I had. An initial discing to get a good seed bed is important to get forage growing so your animals have something to eat. You could spend money to unroll hay and HOPE some hay seed gets trampled in but I prefer your method. It ensures your animals have a living plant to eat. I do agree that Greg Judy has great ideas with rotational grazing and no till but he started out with established pasture. A little tillage to get things going and then no till after that is the way to go. Plus, I bet discing/harrowing was cheaper than a no-till drill.

I really enjoyed your video. I’ll be watching all your videos. Where are you located? I have a 15 acre farm in southern middle Tennessee. West of Fayetteville Tennessee. Just north of the Alabama state border.

Looks like you seeded this in the summer. I have always been told that grass seed can not dry out or it won't germinate. Did you just seed it, and leave it? How did it turn out?

[bearupfarm]

Great video, I how did you cows train on poly wire.

[sobersportsman]

I logged a month ago. Did you forest mulch or bulldoze it clear and flat?

[thecollectoronthecorner]

you can feed you cattle grass seed. and it will sprout in their manure. And they will not graze grass that is growing in their cow pattys for quite a long time. So the seed gets a good start and is fertilized. Disking or tearing up the soil only encourages wind and rain to erode away the organic material.

Thank You for the video, I saw the whole video learned a few things I’m thinking about doing it on a smaller scale 3-5 acres my not have the money the tractor 🚜 guess I’ll have to figure something out.

[jeffcauhape]

Thanks! i wondering how that was done.

You seem to be a nice guy sadly you need to look into regenerative agriculture. Stop putting heavy equipment on you Land. It's ok to put out seed but feed hay on the land bring in your cattle and let them do the work. You will have a beautiful farm.
