Your eyes aren’t deceiving you – these are two different fields side-by-side on the same farm! The pasture on the right side of the fence has been overgrazed; the left side has not. Forages that are not given rest periods become stressed and will not recover quickly. Producers with overgrazed fields will likely have issues with soil compaction, nutrient retention, and increased hay feeding.

The resource concern in this image is degraded plant condition. NRCS can help producers with this concern through the implementation of rotational grazing, moving cows between paddocks about once a week (depending on the number of cows, forage, and acres).
