Hi there: USDA-NRCS is a FREE resource that not all
horse people are aware of, with service centers and resource professionals
nationwide. They make recommendations and can help you develop managed
grazing plans, which, in your case, would include incorporating grasses into a
pure legume stand, fencing the acreage into paddock, establishing watering
system, etc.
Also, there are a number of cost-share and
incentive programs available to eligible landowners, to help, for example,
implement intensive or improved grazing management plans by paying for a portion
of the fence, seed, watering systems, etc. These programs are tailored to suit
local resource needs.......such as improving water quality, soil quality, air
quality, etc. Open this link and click on your state to find a Service Center
near you.
