My wife and I purchased some land earlier this year in eastern Alabama with the intention of improving on it as a family (young sons) for many years to come. Among other things, within the next year or two we hope to have cows and knowing how farming can be all about timing we are currently seeking advice for what we can do now (onset of fall) to better prepare our pasture for once we buy cows.
We have about 15 acres of pasture, used for grazing by the previous owner, that is now covered with weeds - foxtail, dallis, vassey, etc. - and I'm considering overseeding the pasture with a variety that will improve our future options for forage.
We plan to lime pretty soon, but what about grass seed - any variety you guys would recommend considering our situation? What about methods? Our equipment is somewhat limited, so I'd prefer to overseed if possible as opposed to full renovation. Thoughts anyone?
Thanks for the advice.
