Frequently Asked Questions
With the recent cold temps, should I be concerned about any problems with nitrates or prussic acid when I graze Rye pasture that was seeded last fall? Before the freeze it was about 8 inches tall, now it is obviously stressed and stunted, but I want to graze it off before soybean planting in the same ground.

With pasture hard to come by for the summer can we feed corn gluten pellets to help out the pasture that we have? Will they eat both and not back off the grass and just put on weight. We would feed them in bunks. The pellets are at a cost of $110/ton and should go down more as we get into summer.
