Grass, Legume and Forb Cultivation

Photograph of Leopold Noel, Jr., right, discusses this 90-acre improved pasture of white Dutch clover, Bermuda grass and Kobe lespedeza with a Soil Conservation Service technician. This pasture is alternated 60 acre field of name vegetation. On January 1, 150 cattle were put on this 90-acre field &are still grazing it. Before pastures were improved, they were composed of carpet grass and broomsage. “We could run only one quarter the number of the cattle we have now and they stayed skinny,” Leopold, Jr. said. “Now we buy skinny cattle, fatten them in the improved pasture and sell them. We feed only 400 pounds of cotton meal cake for all the cattle daily in January.” Pasture improvement is part of a coordinated soil conservation program. Numerous field drains keep excess water off the pastures. See LA-61, 481; 482; 484; and 485. LA-61, 483.
