    Anyone else use greengrazer V (sorghum-sudan) for hay?

    I prefer the BMR. We just baled and silage wrapped 171 5'x4' bales off of 20-21 acres. We couldn't cut parts of 2 fields as they were too wet. Tallest was about 7 feet tall. We should get 2 more cuttings and some grazing after frost. Hopefully we can dry bale next time, but we have had the good...

    Is fertilizing even needed?

The short version is that on my farm, lime, phosphorus and potassium do seem to make a positive difference and pencil very well. The nitrogen (applied using the typical single application of triple 17 at 200lbs to the...
