[QUOTE="bird dog, post: 1847715, member: 5381"] It would be welcomed for sure but legumes are expensive and not easy to establish in our area. Maybe a mixture of native grasses that require less inputs would be an alternative. I bought a tract from a man that is considered the best grass man in our area. It was mostly Bermuda of various types. He took very good care of it for hay production. I do not put out the fertilizer he did and as a result the bermuda has declined. I do spray herbicide on it, rotate the cows, and don't over graze it so a lot of the native grasses have returned. Yes it will not run as many cattle as when I first bought it but its not far from that and the cattle look just as good with the native blue stems, klein and others that have came back. There is even a bunch of switch grass come back along a levee area. [/QUOTE]
