Phew, didn't take a hurricane to get it but got an inch last night and more on the way today and tomorrow. Had a newly sewn field and the little boogers were struggling to stay alive. I think this will get the roots down to stable moisture....Texas Blackland clay soil. :banana:

I wasn't happy with my Drum mower cutting my hay close to the ground....worked fine on mowing grass but for hay..... way too short. Bit my lip as I swore I'd never do it again but I bought a sicklebar MOCO...mid '80's Ford 538. PO had adjusted the skid plates for about 4" or so of stubble...

Recent postings on this site showed a picture of one and some commenters suggesting that they (the poster/replier) were running one. I have a neighbor of sorts that has some military equipment around his place including one of these, modern version as posted, and a trailer to name a couple of...

That's the topic. No boo birds on this one please, just happy thoughts.

According to what I can glean off the www, Transform WG was initially used for the Sugar Cane Aphid and more recently Sivanto SL 200 came out specifically directed at that pest. Bees were a concern, but on non flowering Sorghum-Sudan summer hay crops, there is nothing to attract the Bee if you...

Going around in circles here. Decided to surf seed suppliers. Stumbled across this: https://hancockseed.com/collections/sorghum-sudangrass-seed/products/xtra-graze-bmr-sudangrass Of extreme importance and caught my eye right off was this attribute under "Product Information": Xtra Graze is...

Going to plant some KY-32 (non Endophyte) Fescue with a JD (double coulter) Drill. Seed selector chart and feeder gauges clearly visible and working. Any gotchas? Thanks

Noticed your last post Aug, 26. How'd you fare with all the rain that got dumped in your neck of the woods? I was born in Houston and grew up in Pasadena so spring flooding was a normal but times have changed and things are 10x than what they used to be besides either the gulf is rising or the...

It's August right? Supposed to be hot and dry in Texas (and elsewhere). Aphids invaded my hay patch so I jumped on the cutter right? Cut Wednesday. Scheduled to help neighbor get his hay into his storage area today and help fight the cows off in the process which WILL happen! Checked the...

Been watching for Sugar Cane Aphids in my Johnson Grass hay patch. Checked a couple of days ago and saw nothing. Checked today and they were all throughout the patch, maybe a percent or two.....got them before they could get established. Went back to the barn, got my cutter out and whacked it...

Any hards facts out there on where in the life cycle of common grasses known to the Ag. world are the seeds mature enough to germinate on their own. Case in point is a mature grass plot that you are thinking about cutting at your first opportunity but want to make a perennial out of an annual...

Field overdue for cutting....Austin Winter Peas and Jumbo Rye in one field and Ky31 Fescue and clover in the other. Both fields are thick, 2-3' tall. Looking like a weeks breather coming up after today with a 30% single shot ½" due in a week. If forecasts remain accurate and favorable I plan...

I'm in my 3rd year of planting peas in the fall along with Jumbo Rye for soil enhancement and erosion control, with no supplemental fertilizer. I usually plant 50#/acre @$40 per 50# bag, but this fall only put out about 30...just to see what kind of stand the difference would make. With large...

Since the software change where by the little, neat heart disappeared, I have been looking around in the upper right corner of the screen as directed, for the "like" icon. Well this morning I accidentally found a thumbs up just to the right of the edit and quote icons. I still liked the heart...

Jingle was you don't mess with her. Well she is messing with us, probably the majority of visitors to this forum and then some. Spring was pretty normal. Got a first cutting off. Some of it was OK and the rest had to be fed out as it was hot from too much moisture. Then comes the summer...

Hey slick4591, Have a new neighbor, been going on 3 years now that has a bunch of bovines, 8 mamas, 1 daddy, half a dozen or so sprouts that need some working. He has a corral and getting them up isn't a problem. Doesn't have a commercially built squeeze chute but has a containment area as...

Been pretty much a hot, drought here lately. Of the few grasses normally used for haying, Crabgrass has grown leaps and bounds around the rest in places where I don't want. nor encourage any growth....don't have it deliberately planted, nor used in the haying operation. Hear this and that...

Was scanning the trailer width discussion again this AM and was just wondering. I didn't watch it happen but a guy loaded a trailer with probably 15 bovines by himself, with a limited broken down corral and they were packed in the trailer like sardines, sideways. You big trailer guys, just how...

Hellooooooo. Mr/Ms Jogeephus. You online? Would you elaborate on this for me/us? Came off the Chicken Litter question of a couple of days ago. Thanks.

How long should one keep horses off a weedy pasture that's been sprayed with 1% 2-4-D Amine? Thanks
