Mow the Pasture

What happens here

The presenter drives the tractor, engaging the Woods Batwing mower to begin cutting the grass and weeds in the pasture. He explains that the goal is to cut the plants at a height of about 5-7 inches, primarily to "knock the tops out" of broadleaf weeds and seed heads. This prevents them from going to seed and allows the desirable fescue and native grasses to take over. He demonstrates the mower in action, showing how it leaves behind cut debris that helps retain soil moisture and prevents bare spots.

Goal: Mow the pasture to control weeds and promote healthy grass growth.
