Pasture Seeding,

Its wise farmer who ask
questions at pasture seeding time.
John +. Shoulders. associate
agronomist at VPI says a good
way to begin planning for seed
ing pasture and forage crops is
to study the present las ,tue acre
ages, the kind OF grasses and
legunes being used. the kind and
amount Of hay crops. and the soil
condition OF the fields.

ticns DO | have enough grazing

will best suit my farm needs?
Is my soil suited for these mix
