    The Secrets to Having High-Yield Fields on Your Ranch

    By johncash | Life Lessons | 0 comment | 4 September, 2019 | 0

    Living on a ranch can be an absolutely wonderful experience. Not only do you get to work on your own land with your own rules, but you likely get to enjoy beautiful scenes of nature every day. There’s peace and quiet everywhere that you turn. In order to make this a lucrative endeavor, you’ll want to make sure you have a good plan in place. If you want to have high-yield fields on your ranch, following these three secrets to having high-yielding fields on your ranch.

    Have a Good Irrigation System

    In order for any crop to grow, you’re going to need a good amount of water. If you are farming in an area that doesn’t see a lot of rain during the growing season, you’ll want to look into an irrigation system. This will allow you to water whenever you need to, in a very efficient manner. If you already have an irrigation system, you should make sure that you are upgrading it regularly. This is one area of your ranch that you don’t want to skimp on.

    Fertilize Well

    If you want to have a profitable yield at the end of the growing season, you need to make sure that your soil has enough nutrients to grow crops. A lot of areas tend to be nutrient deficient. Plants simply won’t take off that way. If you fertilize well, this will help give your plant the boost that they need. As VTI points out, a manure spreader can give your soil an even injection of manure that will help you to add to the quality of your farming soil for better crops.

    Know the Right Time to Plant

    According to Bonnie Plants, planting in the proper season is one of the most crucial steps to getting a good crop. It might take you a few years to really narrow down this sweet spot, but knowing when to plant will help you yield great results. Make sure you aren’t planting too early though. This could end up affecting your seeds or the growth of your plants. There are actually tests that you can do on your soil to see if it is ready for planting.

    It’s incredibly important to understand everything there is to know about planting and growing when you’re living on a ranch and looking to turn a profit. You can often get information from other ranchers in the area. You can learn as you go along, but make sure that you’re doing plenty of research as well.

    If you love your horses, you want to make sure they get the best of everything. Let us help you out!
