You can really tell the new growth from the drone footage. The forage looks like it is really starting to come back. Good job cows.
Thanks for your support!!!!!
Really appreciate you taking the time to make these video's. I'm sure its not an easy task.
Thank you!! Making the videos can be a hard task but really enjoy making them.
Another great video mate. Thanks!!!
Thanks for watching!!!
We really enjoy the drone footage. Thanks for pointing out the different forage species and the soil amendments. How many animals units in that herd ? Keep up the good work, we appreciate your efforts.
Thank you!! I have a video coming up with a drone crash!! Hope to get it back from repair soon. Lol My cow herd is around 80 au
So once that cover crop is stomped down an they move into next pad, does all other forage start to grow back a lot better then before
I believe the idea is that the hooves trample carbon matter into the soil which builds the top layer. Once the top layer starts getting thicker, it increases the ability of the soil to soak up water and retain it for dry spells. Another benefit of a good top soil is that it provides habitat for micro organisms, which increases fertility. It's a somewhat counterintuitive notion that trampling grass actually increases your long term yield. Most farmers want every blade of grass to be eaten by the cows, but that only depletes the soil in the long run, and causes erosion and water problems.
It sure does help make the field more productive. Don't be afraid to leave forage behind. Thanks for watching!!!
Do you worry about putting years of effort into building the pasture on a lease property? Or do you have extended agreements, to guarantee you get to enjoy the fruits of your labor for a while? I'm considering leasing, but worry about putting time and effort into a field, only for the owner to turn around and either use or sell the now improved land.
I do worry about that. I try to do it as cheaply as possible. We also have 10 lease agreements to. Those can be terminated quickly tough.
