Pasture Rotation Brings Promise
Of WOO Lb. Beef Yield Per Acre
By 1. D. VERTBEES
Klamath County Aercnt I pcatcdly lor years 111 potatoes and
A thousand pounds of beef per ; grain,
acre? Sounds Impossible. I Irrigation of pastures' is too c-Iten
This could be compared with the i neglected. It should b3 thoroiiBh
situation a number of years back i and frequent; standing water on
when animal experts were talking pastures will stunt the growth. A
bout "a ton of pork per sow ' in i regular schedule of irrigation is
the swine industry. Then the idea the best idea.
seemed radical. Today it s com-; infinite
mon practice.
Perhaps today a thousand pounds
of beef sounds impractical, - but
let's consider the facts:
Common practice among the
farming fraternity is the relegat
ing o! pasture lands to tne poorer
portions of the farm. We planted
pastures there because nothing else
wouia ao very well anynow.
But Is that the best pasture prac
tieet
We've got farmers In Hie Rlam-
ain easin looay wno are procur
ing 700 to 800 pounds of beef per
acre, .rastures operated by ixuie
Lyon of Malm have shown vieMs
of MO to 850 pounds of beef. Plans
are made to increase the .ertilircr
rates and alter management with
the aim of over 1000 pound virlds
on these mature pastures. Figures
show that the Scott McKendree pas
tujea here in the vallev have vipld
ven 000 pounds per acre in si live
to six month pasture season.

And every Indication shows It's
possible to increase these yields
still further. ,
Pastures, as a cash crop, fit into
a" diversified program. They can
be made to produce right along
with our higher cash income crops
spuds, clover and grain. And at
the same time, it isn't necess-ary
to become a cattleman, either, re
quiring a large breeding herd ai.d
equipment.
Under this type of program, such
points as good land, irriga:ion. fer
tilization and rotation are extreme
ly important,
Good land supporting irrigated
pastures will produce a maximum
yield lor the cash crop program;
at the same time, pastures can

lize a substantial profit. Rates rs
high as 500 pounds of fertilise" per
acre nave been found to Ktve ma.
imum yields in some areas. Even
higher rates prove to be a paying
proposition.
Rotation of pasture grazing areas
is one of the most important
steps in management. For instance,
a 40 acre field could be divided
into four 10 acre sections. All the
cattle are grazed in one section
at a time, while the other sections
have been irrigated, fertilized, and
rested and are in progressive stages
or regrowth.
The cattle will uniformly graze
each section without some plan's
becoming old, bunchy and unpal
atable. The animals' appetite and
interest is kept up by moving to
a new piece frequently. As a herd
is moved to a new section the
renovation process is immediately
repeated in rotation.
RAIN. FROST
Of all cattle feeds, cheapest gains
are made from pastures. The more
a pasturde produces, the cheaper
the pound of gain on the animal.
With our newer cultivated vari
eties of pasture plants meadow
fox tall, smooth brome. alta fescue,
clovers and lotuses response to
pasture management is even
greater.
A cattle "crop . unlike row crops
isn't damaged by a frosty night
in June which sometimes flattens
spud fields. Rain won't stop a
pasture harvest, but it will hay
or clover harvest. Transient labor
and expensive machinery are not
necessary lor getting the "crop"
in. These are all points to ad
vantage of a good pasture crop.
Let's manage our postures . . .
as' intensively as we would a high

Provisions were added late last
year making it possible for county
PMA committees to start their pro
gram year in October for certoln
practices. Heretofore, the program
has been carried out on a calendar
year basis. By receiving prior ap
proval, farmer may now start per
manent type practices in the fall
and carry them through to conclu
sion without danger of losing as
sistance.
Formerly. Miller explains, fall
practices suffered. County alloca
tions of funds were frequently ex
hausted early In the year making
it impossible for county commit
tees to offer assistance on prac
tices normally started during fall
months. The fact that county ACP
books liRd fo be closed at year
end made the carryover -feature
impossible whether lunds were
spent or not.
By strengthening the program In
this way. farmers with prior ap
proval from their local PMA com
mittee will be able to start such
permanent farm improvements as
tile installations. Where specifica
tions are met, assistance will be
guaranteed by the county commit
tee from ear-marked funds.
In Western Oregon, the new fea
ture is expected to encourage prac
tics where earth moving is re
quired It is during the fall period
when heavy equipment, normally
used in the woods or in other con
struction work is available to farm
