Yes, I have decided to focus on cows that can thrive on K31 and forget about the rest. They are out there and I haven't found a better grass to tolerate multiple growing conditions. Thrive on what I've got or take a ride to the sale barn has become my new motto. (Except the one cow that my kids...

Sounds like clover is probably what we will stay with. We also have some lespedeza in one of our hay fields. Alfalfa doesn't stay long around here. I read that birds foot could be grown where alfalfa couldn't and was just curious if it had any major advantages over clover. Sounds like it...

Looking to add either some more clover or some birds foot trefoil to our predominately fescue pasture. We have some places that have a good bit of clover now but some that don't. Never tried the birds foot before so of those of you that have it or know much about it which do you prefer? And...

Hemp/Dogbane is spreading like wildfire in this part of the country. Very hard to control or get rid of due to the horizontal rooting system.

Maybe this is only a problem here locally. I figured some of the others may have some experience with it.

Any of you guys or gals have problems with this weed? I have read where it is poison but I know of very few farms around here that do not have it and they graze it and bale it with seemingly no problems. We sprayed an entire field this year with Crossbow and it killed it but we will see what...

It's sad that so many are ignorant of what goes on in the farming industry.

We finished our hay season Saturday as well. It is nice to know it's over and now we move on to other chores.
