| I would(this is what I do on our owned ground) soil test pay attention to the PH Potassium, Boron and Sulfur, get enough legumes to supply the Nitrogen, I. like Ladino Clover, but have a good amount of alfalfa also for tonnage and drought tolerance. If it is close if you are just grazing it will not take a lot of fertilizer to maintain compared to row crops Commercial Nitrogen is a yearly financial drain and hard on the legume part of the stand. Long as you have a long term lease I would not be too hesitant to fertilize rented ground for the future (to a point) especially on the front end of the lease. Rotationally graze in some manner shape or form, even if it means moving only once a week or 10 days, more often is definitely better, but not always practical. | |
