| Description | Significant increases in high-quality forage result from planting Rhizobiurn-inoculated clover seeds and fertilizing with phosphorus and sulfur. As authors of this and the following article report, this intensive management of land for grazing lambs pays dividends by producing greater numbers of high-grade, low-fat spring lambs.
