good luck drilling through the tread on steel belted tires, better get some nylon tread tires. Believe me tried it and its no fun unless someone knows something i don't know.

We have been using the 250 lb tubs this winter, i think they are 24% protein from our local farm store (Orshelons).They are about fifty bucks each, plus feeding them all the hay they want. All our cows look good and the calves are almost fat. I think they look just as good as last year when we...

We were up to from last year, but not a whole lot. As much rain as we had this year, i thought we would be way up. Might be a carry over from two dry years in a row.

Hay prices are all over the board around here this year, most is $40-$45 dollars for a 4x5 bale of mixed grass hay. I have seen prices on Craigslist from $35 to $65 dollars. I advertised some on Craiglist for $45 for a 4x5 bale and didn't even get a phone call and that was with free delivery...

I agree, it,s going to be extra work, but i need the hay really bad. Most of it is ok, just a couple of big spots, maybe 40x150 yds or so. Hay meadows of any kind are hard to find around here, you almost have to inherit them :)

I've got a chance to bid on a hay meadow,it has some rough places in it and part of the stipulations are that the rutting that has been done by ATVs and four wheel trucks have to be leveled out. Some of it is pretty bad and i,m just wondering if i can do the job with just a disk or is it going...

I had the same idea as your dad, last year i wanted to no-till some oats in my hay meadow for early grazing and then bale it later. Well the oats all came up, but they never grew enough to do any good. It was either lack of fertilizer or lack of rain (or both). If i ever try it again, i will...

I'm kinda with you on this.

Interesting, a lot of people are doing rotational grazing (Including me), and i think he was saying to put large numbers on small parcels and rotate them, but they have to have something to eat to get the whole thing started and he was starting on bare land. I missed something maybe?

I no-tilled in some oats for some early pasture/hay and was wondering if someone here could tell me how long it usually takes from planting till you see some emerging plants come up ?

I know, I should have put this under machinery. My bad :(

I never have , but i have often wondered if it would help some. What do you think ? Would it help to clean them or just leave them be. And if you did clean, what would you use, ordinary soap and water ot maybe tire cleaner ? Any suggestions

You can argue this all day, i have enjoyed reading everyones comments, but for myself i actually enjoy baling my own hay and always have. I get a sense of accomplishment out of of doing it myself, its hard work and frustrating at times and sometimes (rare), everything goes great. I buy decent...

This year i have seen some lush bermuda in my pasture and the cows won't eat it, so i'm doing some rethinking about bermuda for pasture. i had always thought it was as good as you can get for cows.

With some rains and cooler weather the last couple of weeks, the bermuda grass has been growing like crazy in my pastures. Not really growing tall, but showing up all over where i hadn't seen it all year. I always heard that bermuda had some deep roots and now that i see that its still there, i...

This is unbelievable. Can you believe that of all those smart people (yeah, right) in Washington, no one thought of this. I don't know if it will be the answer, but it sure appears to me that it would work. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------...

I know what P & K is, but what is P/N/S ?

Getting ready to spray some fence rows. What would be good for killing small brush and real small trees? I use 2,4,d for thistles and most weeds but it won't work for some of the bigger stuff.

Thanks, much better pics. Now i can go out and check and see if thats what is coming up . I broadcast some last year and then again this year and i'm not sure how successful i was.

I have looked at that picture till my eyes were hurting and i still don't know what lespedeza looks like when its first sprouting. I don't know if it's just my computer or what. Anyone have a better picture or a drawing?
