There are special elements and considerations involved with managing small acreage properties such as weed identification and management, grass identification, pasture management, and reseeding.
The Colorado Small Acreage Management is a partnership through the Colorado State University Extension and the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service. You can find more information, including the Colorado Forage Guide, on their website.
If you are interested in grazing management its first important to know what grass you are growing, this will determine when you should graze and how long depending also on the grazing animal. These guides and factsheets below will help you learn how to identify your grass and how to graze accordingly.
If you are interested in reseeding it's important to know the cost, equipment, if you even need to reseed and the best of the year to reseed if you have a dryland pasture. The guides and documents below will help you learn how to reseed correctly.
The Small Acerage Management Newsletters are offered through Colorado Small Acreage Management.
