Manage Manure for Pasture Health

What happens here

To maintain optimal pasture health on a regenerative farm, regularly address manure patties left by livestock. Cows tend to avoid grazing directly next to their own manure, leading to uneven grass growth. The drag harrow is crucial here: it breaks up the dried manure patties, spreading the valuable nutrients evenly across the pasture. This action not only fertilizes the soil but also encourages uniform grazing and helps new grass seed to establish.

Goal: Spread manure patties to improve soil fertility and grazing uniformity.
