Grass, Legume and Forb Cultivation
Photograph of J.B. Cutrer, left, and Dr. H.H. Bennett, chief of the USDA SCS, right, watching a young Guernsey cow enjoying a good meal of fine clovers in improved pastures established in the Fall of 1941 at a cost of approximately $17.00 per acre, not including labor. Cutrer says "When the herd was turned into pasture on April 23, 1942, our daily milk production ranged from 275 to 300 pounds. Two weeks later, milk production ranged from 600 o 625 pounds. Also saw a large savings in food. Cattle have grazed continuously except for a short time when taken off to all clovers and grass to reseed. Health of herd has also improved. Cows have no trouble at calving time." The Cutrers established their first improved pasture, 2 acres in 1939; in 1941, 22 acres were developed and in 1942, 35 acres were established. LA-D7-3.
