Any Kind of Fertilizer Helps.
About one-fourth of the land here is in hay meadows, of which the principal grass is timothy. These meadows are occasionally plowed up and reseeded with timothy and clover. Not much fertilizer is used, but the meadows are productive in most cases.
These meadows are pastured with cattle after the hay crop is cut. Nearly all of our meadows are well drained, as they must be to get good results.
Two of the most important things in the cutting of our hay crops, is to have the meadows thoroughly drained and to have them well fertilized with fertilizer of any kind.
