• Line up hay supplies now-there may be shortages again next winter.
• Continue hay harvests. Minimize storage losses by storing hay under cover.
• Clip pastures for weeds and seedheads as needed.
• Slow rotation, allowing for a longer recovery period.
• Use portable fencing to decrease paddock size and increase paddock number.
• Do NOT graze below the minimum desired height.
• When managed, volunteer crabgrass can provide high quality summer forage, but these pastures should be overseeded in the fall since crabgrass dies after frost. (More information on crabgrass and its management can be found here: http://www2.ca.uky.edu/agcomm/pubs/AGR/AGR232/AGR232.pdf)
