Information on pasture economics

[drl]

Could someone help me find information on what pasture is worth for a grazing cow? We have some land that is good heavy soil that is currently in crop production while some of it is hay in strips that I was wondering if it would be economically feasible to turn into pasture. It is real heavy soil and I live in Wisconsin where we get good rainfall so we could get a fairly high stocking rate.

I would contact your local USDA/FSA they should probably have all the info for your area

Although this is from NE, I would think you could base off of the rates for eastern NE.
