That’s good stuff Alfisher……..Very observant…..One thing that first came to my mind when you talked about the grasses and needing to spray. When I first started my field was nothing but nearly pure crabgrass….As I’ve progressed to healthier soil though and as its changed over time….so has the species composition. I can now find 25+ different species in the field and as the conditions still continue to change….the broadleafs are becoming more prolific.
What we have to do is just recognize the conditions we want to see out of that mass of summer vegetation and tweak things slightly here and there to make it like that. We want it to be a nice mix of grasses, broadleafs, and legumes that will serves all of our needs. That hay to cover the seed and feed the soil OM…..that broadleaf to feed the deer and provide and more woody OM…..and the legume to feed the deer and bring back some nitrogen…..That’s how to make the cycle efficiently turn. You just need to look at the all the tools available and all the different manners in which we have to tweak the process…..Mowing frequency and timing are one really big tool. This “just right” mixture probably wont happen for many until a number of years down the road when the soil conditions have been changed enough to allow it.
Folks that know don't shoot old does........
