Abstract
"The acre yield of meat, milk, or wool obtained from permanent pastures can be materially and profitably increased by increasing the quantity and improving the quality of the forage produced, and by managing grazing so that the available forage will be fully consumed during seasons when it is more nutritious. The productivity of the pasture can be increased, and the quality of the forage improved by applying phosphate and lime to soils that are deficient in these minerals, and by establishing a legume in the grass sod. In order to use with maximum efficiency forage produced by the permanent pasture, supplementary pastures must be provided and used during much of the summer and fall." --Page [1]
