things here so i can teach you guys what i've learned and what works for me on my farm here in north carolina no fertilizer on this pasture right here for five years okay the first time when we cleared the land and we put our seed down that's when we fertilize and i have not touched it since the cows are doing the work for us guys the sunlight the cows and the soil we don't have any topsoil here in north carolina this is the piedmont region of north carolina and we have the most highly eroded soils in the country you would think that arizona or somewhere out in the nevada desert would be the most eroded soils but the most eroded soils in the country are right here and we're showing you guys how to build it up i hope you guys learned a little bit on this video no fertilizer just cows just amendments we're bringing hay to the farm if you have any questions please post them down there in the comments i'd love to hear from you this is putting it into practice when it comes down to it we don't have a 1600 acre farm we've got 150 acre farm we don't have a 3 500 acre farm we don't have the option to move our cows and let the land rest for 90 days so we're giving it 20 30 days and we're intensively grazing and we're going in right behind them we're hitting it with the mower and letting it recover we're also going to be trying a new tool out within the next couple weeks we're going to be trying a drag hair so we'll come in here we'll drag the manure out and we'll mow it and we'll let it recover as it rains on the land we've had a little bit of a dry year this year so it's made it a little bit more and stressful on the cows typically around here you can run one to one and a half cows per acre on good soil and good grass but most people are throwing fertilizer out on this ground so they would be throwing five thousand dollars worth of fertilizer out here when you just don't need to do it
