Hi Frank,
My first suggestion is to get a hold of, "Fertility Pastures," by Newman
Turner. This is an excellent book that Mollison recommends for ranchers.
It discusses resting your paddocks and putting them into cover crop
production, or leys as Turner calls them. The leys are rich in clover and
other forbes that are essential for making minerals and micro nutrients
available to the livestock and soil. He also uses lots of high quality
silage mad from the leys.
The book has been reprinted by Bargyla Rateaver in San Francisco, CA. As
well she recommends "Gold in the Grass," another out of print book that she
has reprinted. We have both books in our library.
