Learn about proper pasture management and its benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Grazing Management<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Salatin practices \u201c<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/rotational-grazing-management-intensive\/\">management intensive grazing<\/a><\/strong>,\u201d which involves rotating animals through different pastures at various intervals. This requires using portable fencing and moving animals every day, as well as understanding how grass grows and responds to grazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Grass has a spurt of growth after animals have grazed the first time, or taken a first bite, and after the grass has rebuilt its reserves and root mass.<\/li><li>Then growth slows down again and the grass gets ready to seed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>To manage pastures effectively, it\u2019s necessary to keep track of the grazing and stages of growth and recovery<\/strong> of each section, which varies according to the amount of rainfall and season. A farmer knows the average amount of forage a cow will eat in a day (a cow day) and calculates how many cow days each pasture will provide. Grazing the optimal number of cows at the optimal moments yields tremendous amounts of grass while also improving the quality of the land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Polyface Farm achieves as much as 400 cow days per acre (compared to the county average of 70), in effect expanding the farm without adding new acreage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the 16 million acres now being used to grow corn to feed animals became well-managed pasture, that would remove 14 billion pounds of carbon from the atmosphere a year. This is comparable to removing four million cars from the road.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefits of Pasture Management<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Poor pasture management causes problems.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Grasses shortened by overgrazing have weak root systems for drawing water and minerals, so the grass deteriorates and can dry up.<\/li><li>Also, grasses favored by livestock \u2013 clovers, bluegrass timothy \u2014 weaken and disappear. On the other hand, undergrazing also leads to lower quality grass when some varieties crowd out others.<ul><li>Wild populations of grazing animals moved regularly to new territory, or were forced to move like buffalo were due to predators.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Grass\u2019s contrast with corn couldn\u2019t be sharper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Unlike corn, growing grass doesn\u2019t lend itself to the industrial system benefits of consistency, mechanization, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/advantages-of-economies-of-scale\/\">economies of scale<\/a>.<\/li><li>Grass isn\u2019t particularly portable, storable in large quantities, or traded as a commodity.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Unlike corn, it doesn\u2019t shore up the larger economy \u2014 for instance, the chemical and oil industries, or pharmaceuticals.<\/li><li>Grass quality is variable, and grass can\u2019t be broken down and processed into value-added foods.<\/li><li><strong>The skill and local knowledge required to manage grass are hard to standardize.<\/strong><\/li><li>Growing grass follows the cycles of nature rather than the logic of industry.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Animals<\/strong> in Pasture Management<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In a similarly intricate way, Polyface Farm manages its animals. The various <strong>animals and the grass are interdependent, benefiting each other and the land while producing food<\/strong>.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chicken pens housing broilers are moved around the farm regularly \u2014 10 feet per day \u2014 so they can eat grass and fertilize it with their manure; the birds avoid pathogens, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-get-more-nutrients\/\">get nutrients<\/a> from the varied grasses plus bugs, but are moved before their pecking and manure can destroy it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another example of interdependence is the way the farm handles rabbits for sale as meat to restaurants. The rabbits live in cages suspended over wood chips, in which their manure and urine collects; chickens scratch in it, which helps turn it into compost.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The farm grazes turkeys in a grape orchard, where they eat bugs, cut the grass, and fertilize the vines.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Manure that collects in cattle sheds, where cows spend winter, is layered with straw and corn, which ferments; then pigs are allowed to root in the manure for the corn, and this aerates it, creating a rich compost in a few weeks. This can later be spread on pastures, which will enhance the grasses, which feed the cows, chickens, and turkeys.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Nature\u2019s Efficiencies<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In such an interconnected system as pasture management, you can\u2019t change one thing without changing the others.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if the farm added more chickens, their nitrogen-based manure would be too much for the pastures to handle and it would kill the grass. Also, the farmer would need to add more cattle to produce the manure and insects to feed the chickens, or their eggs wouldn\u2019t be as good. This is sustainable pasture management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The farm is more like an organism than a machine; it works only on a smaller scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Natural systems are efficient in a different way from industrial systems<\/strong>; for instance, in nature, <strong>there\u2019s no waste problem<\/strong>. One animal\u2019s waste becomes another\u2019s food source; turning cow manure into eggs is efficient, as is using the same pasture repeatedly to produce different things: cows, pigs, broilers, eggs, turkeys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In an industrial system, simplified by creating a monoculture, the only way efficiency is measured is by yield.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But natural systems\u2019 efficiencies grow from interdependence. You need multiple species complementing each other, to eliminate the need for fertilizer, pesticides, drugs, etc. The animals accomplish this by behaving naturally, doing what they are designed to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pastoral farming and pasture management is labor intensive compared to the more mechanized and standardized <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/what-is-industrial-farming\/\">industrial farming<\/a> system.<\/strong><br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is pasture management, and what role does it play in sustainable agriculture?
