Book Description

Excerpt from West Virginia Pastures: A Typical Bluegrass Pasture in a Limestone Section of the State The value Of pasture land varies considerably in the different counties but in most counties. The interest on the investment in land plus the taxes amounts to about 70 per cent Of the value of the gain produced, thus leaving only a small margin which might be expended toward improving the grass. The cost Of fencing was not considered in the foregoing figures. If some treatment Of the grass land can be found that will bring about improvement and the cost not exceed the value Of the improvement, then pastures should be made to carry more animals on a given area than are now being grazed.
