Body
Everybody understands that pastures have to be rested, but ask a collection of people what “pasture rest†is and surprisingly there is no consensus. However, it is those who prefer to use the term recovery, in preference to the term rest, who appear to have better understanding. They appreciate that the central issue is actually allowing plants to grow and become healthy, rather than the removal of animals from pastures for a specific length of time.
