It would be nice to have good grass to mow, but most don't in this part of the world. Johnson grass is going to grow whether you like it or not so why not take advantage of it? Its a darn good forage on not so good land and as shown by SS Cattle, it can be very nutritious.
JG hay is way underrated. You can usually buy it fairly cheap because the horse crowd can't use it. Its one of those things that CB says "why fight it"
It's a heck of a lot easier and less costly to work with Ma Nature than fight her.
She will win! The only thing keeping her at bay is dollars.
Your comment is spot on correct. I've mowed more this year than ever before, mostly due to a lot of rain and heat.
Maybe goats could keep things at bay, but I've never seen weeds grow like they have this year.
I sometimes wonder what things would look like if I didn't touch a thing and came back in 20 years.
