    I have a half pallet of Cut Sward left after spreading silage ground. I was going to spread it on grazing ground. What is the difference between Cut Sward and Pasture Sward? Also what rate should i spread the Cut Sward on grazing groumd?

    Well cut sward is usually 24-2.5-10 and pasture sward is usually 27-2.5-5, so the pot-ash component is the main difference.
