Harp Turkey Ranch

Well it is still not spring here and the grasses have not really started to grow, there are some new shoots but not alot yet. So since the broilers were tearing up the grass and it was not re-growing we figured to move them over to where we are clearing to be able to plant grasses. Before I moved them on to the area I went through and removed all the bigger pieces of wood and branches. Then I put the broilers on it to let them grow and help clear it. They have done a great job so far. They will not only help clear the under brush, but they will scratch up the seeds of the weeds and eat them help eliminating alot of weed re-growth. They are also helping to fertilize the land as they grow. They have also knocked down all the mosquitoes,gnats & etc. in that area. When I was removing the bigger stuff, the mosquitoes were eating me alive. Now you go in there and nothing. When they are done I will be planting white clover and rye grass to help balance out the soils and to give the others food in the near future.
