Revitalizing old neglected pasture

thx

That seeder with work great on your small TYM tractor, it works great on my John Deere 1023e.

Ever seen a scythe? It would be indispensable for hard mowing area. I just got mine and now learning how to cute tall grass and weeds. I. No pro with this anciet tool ut woow it is great. Now heavy gas tri.mer or line to worry with. No barrtery tos needed. It is quiet and efficienct even in the ha ds of a novice 62 old gal.

Drone up sky shows how beautiful small farm with small lake is!!

I needed this as I am moving back home to the farm.

Oh no


You mowed

Get critters out there to eat it then trim what’s left

Goats and sheep and pigs can do the job

👍🏻enjoyed it!

Have you thought about having sheep on your land, because they will keep your grass at a good level and stop weeds as well. Then once the sheep
have made your field have nice and even growth. You should be able to grow some Hay! Take care now.

If it is that wet take that roller and make sure that the seed has contact with the soil, not sure why u didntseed the clover at the same time

Two years in from this video, how's the pasture doing? what kind of a catch did you get on the broadcast seeding? Are you doing rotational grazing now?

Is there a follow up ?

You install some temporary electric fence and let loose the goats, they will clear any weeds in just 3-4 days; reduces your feeding costs and your goats will get some natural green/vegetation.

We just bought our first farm and close escrow in about 3 weeks this video was helpful thank you

Dees said you suck at spreading seed.😏

I like to do my over-seeding on my "poor" lawn in early March when the soil is soft and damp. After over-seeding, I usually run over the lawn with my tractor tires to try to push the seed into the top layer of dirt. Seems to work pretty well from what I can tell; otherwise, over-seeding just did not yield very good new growth.

I did not know those Kasawaskis had GPS but it looks like it was working pretty good for ya!

Man you have a beautiful piece of property.

How did this project turn out? Is there a follow up video? Are you happy with the results of grass coming back and weeds being suppressed?

thanks for a great video, how did the germination rates go

Ahh. I thought I had spotted ragweed in other videos. Stuff has been my allergic arch nemesis for years ... weakens me like Superman in a room full of Kryptonite. However, I have been treated by Nambudripad allergy elimination. We'll see how I do, this fall. So far, it has been very helpful with other airborne allergens. And 44 down thumbs? I mean, it's a man cutting weeds, for crying out loud? WHAT are you looking for?

its pretty amazing how quick nature takes over when left undisturbed

I will follow this with interest. We have done several pastures over the years and never had any luck over seeding without even a minimal amount of tillage. We have a tractor mount whirlwind seeder, used one growing up on the farm, as well as one for an ATV. This has worked well for crimson clover if you catch the weather right. When seeding without a drill or planter, we follow with a cultipacker. Seed depth is often critical, so no real good one size fits all option. We had a lot of CRP land, so we sold our West Plains no-till drill with grass box a few years ago; wish we hadn't done that; sure need it now.

Did you collect the grass cuttings? And what did you use?
Thanks
Michael

Thanks for the video of congrats to your Rehabilitation of your pasture.

I guess my two cents for you would be maybe that's grass seeder was not designed to be towed at such a high rate of speed. I'm figuring that it's top speed was designed for that of a typical garden tractor and not a $3,000 four-wheeler like I believe you were using.

I'm buying 31 acres in NH soon. Part of it is a huge field that was used for cattle decades ago. The amount of ticks in there is epic. I'm looking for a way to take it back. I may invest in a flail mower for my ATV. What I really want to do is have the fire department do some training and do a controlled burn and start over.

So when mowing those weeds, did you take them off the pasture afterwards or did you leave them there to return plant matter/nutrients to the earth as they decompose? I'm new to all this, but about to buy some land that is pretty overgrown and weedy, and trying to figure out the best way to deal with it while avoiding tilling and re-seeding if possible

Great work done going to look good when grass grows.

That looks like good goat feed.

I see mustard and ragweed that is like 7 feet tall, that’s nasty stuff. Break any sheer pins? The CRP program made us take weed wackers to get thistle off of rock piles. 3 quarters, did it, Suburban came back with 2 good tires.

Were you are farmer in another life or something? How do you know how to do all this stuff? Your place is beautiful. Janice

Got the same seeder! That lever you set the amount of seed spread sucks!

“weeds”

So impressed every video, you are truly a very hard worker along with your wife. Amazing what you have done in the few years you have lived there. Wonderful job.

I want to buy 50 acres that’s completely overgrown and turn it into my own little farm. I could sell produce at the farmers market and have animals for manure and there meat and eggs and kind of just live off grid

Is it fenced yet

Are kidding me, It just fell apart? We can't have nothing good. Your going to use the handheld spreader, until I feel you've learned a lesson. Good video sir.

You have done a amazing job

Hi..... Country View Acres, thank you for sharing your video homestead 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 🎥👍👍👍

trees on the dam are bad roots can cause dam failure in earthen pond dams

How successful do you think the overseeding was? Do you think you got good germination and growth from that? We're in the process of buying 20 acres and will have pasture that needs reclaimed and revitalized.

Are you planning to just grow hay. I see no fences so assuming no grazing

How much of that seed do you think actually made it to the ground with the grass that long?

Some job a bit of hard work makes.

Love your videos sir! Keep up the great work...

You get what you pay for.

Good luck on that Agrifab....bought one and the gear and assembly parts rusted through completely....used it once to spread fertilizer on my property, stored it in our pole barn over winter and the next Spring when I wanted to use it again, it had completely rusted through. The entire carriage parts were rusted through. I then purchased a new John Deere spreader, which I should have done to begin with, but the Agrifab was a bit cheaper. Two years into the John Deer spreader and we're still good.
