    Clover Galore

    From my understanding it fixes the N as leaves or plants die off and decompose.

    Sunn Hemp

    I was the one who originally started this thread 4 years ago and just now decided I would try Sunn Hemp. Placed my order yesterday morning from Petcher Seed, got an email yesterday evening stating that they weren't allowed to ship it to Arkansas so they refunded my money. Bummer. I knew some...

    Bermuda vs. Bahia seed

    There were some around me spreading world feeder clippings years ago and got it established that way, I had thought about it at one time.

    Bermuda vs. Bahia seed

    I gave up on trying to have a pure stand of anything years ago and glad I did, much better grazing to have a variety. I have bermuda, fescue, bahia, dallisgrass,crabgrass,white clover, red clover, vetch, red top, johnson grass and some other varieties I'm not sure of. Which one is prevalent...

    Bermuda vs. Bahia seed

    I was told that if hybrid bermuda was not managed (as in fertilized as needed) that it would just turn back to being a common bermuda, no idea if that's true. I've always planted common bermuda and been happy with it.

    ladino clover.

    Has anyone tried Dixie Crimson clover? It looks to grow pretty tall. I'ts more of an annual but will reseed itself to some degree.

    Testing for Endophytes

    Did you read my post on page 1? I have plenty of warm season grasses mixed in my fescue as well as legumes. As I stated in that post, dilution is the solution. You and I are within a pretty close proximity to one another so I'd think you could establish some warm season grasses and legumes in...

    Testing for Endophytes

    Honestly, I believe it will return regardless as long as the pasture is being managed for desirable forage but I may be wrong. I'd put my money in getting other grasses and legumes established in the mix so that the endophyte isn't an issue. What kind of results have the other operators in that...

    Testing for Endophytes

    That would be my concern, KY 31 seems to pop up out of nowhere and thrive, I believe it would have years of seed bank even if you killed everything already growing.

    Testing for Endophytes

    From my understanding the novel types just don't do as good as KY31. I hear either endophyte fescue takes back over or it's hard to maintain a good stand. I have what I assume is endophyte infected fescue because it was just what volunteered or came from hay I was feeding and I don't have...

    I run across them from time to time on marketplace between $1000-$3000 depending on size and condition.

    Turkey litter for hay field

    Man, that's a bargain, if I could litter that cheap I'd buy my own spreader and I'd be putting litter on twice a year while I could get it cheap. I had litter spread one time on my place and the guy accidentally spread it real heavy in one area, it was a game changer for that area, it grew the...

    Turkey litter for hay field

    Surely that's not the hauled price is it?

    Turned out today.

    I had a few lose the ends of their tales but most show no effects. I have quite a bit fescue just not solid stands, a lot of warm season grasses mixed in, I've had some other cattlemen tell me I should try to get rid of it. No thanks, I'll just keep cattle that can tolerate it. Trying to get rid...

    Turned out today.

    I've got about 30 acres of hardwoods on my place that I would like to silvopasture, I've noticed in areas with alot of shade that it never goes to seed, wonder if there would be less effect from the endophyte in heavily shaded areas since it doesn't go to seed?

    Turned out today.

    How many acres of stockpile do you figure per cow? I have fescue but also have other grasses mixed in so not a solid stand, with that in mind would I need to overseed or no-till another cool season annual in or just figure on more acres per head?

    Called in sick this morning

    I feel being around the kids all the time keeps me with a good immune system, I rarely get sick.

    Cost of Hay

    I'm not in the business of making sure they are profitable, that's their business, but a few of them make a living that way so must be making a profit somehow. Don't know, not my business, I just know what the going rate is in this area. You kinda act like it makes you mad that some of us are...
