Answer to Question 1One difference between preparing a seedbed for most forages and one for field crops is that the texture
of the soil in the seedbed must be finer and the seedbed somewhat firmer for forage crops than is
necessary for most field crops. This is because most forage plants have very small seeds that have
difficulty making firm contact with the soil in seedbeds unless the soil is finely textured.
Answer to Question 2Some of the common techniques to prevent overgrazing are fencing, rest rotation, deferred rotation,
supplementation, and herding.
