[QUOTE="ClinchValley86, post: 1794898, member: 38595"] Not quite seed related, but sort of. Best bang for your buck would be temporary wire, a couple reels and 50 step in posts. Use them to rotate across your pasture. Giving rest is of upmost importance. Your soil is full of desired seed I bet. No herbicides or fertilize is needed going this route. It sorts itself out over the next few years. With inputs as high as they are, getting away from them will help the bottom line. I'd rent a drill and seed that way of seeding is a must. If not feasible you can broadcast and drag it in. Don't let animals on it for a little bit til it's sure footed. Otherwise you're likely wasting time and money. I'm in east TN and this has worked like a champ for me. Spent next to nothing aside from temp fencing. I did drill some ryegrass last Fall to experiment. Gotta split that pasture up if not already. Give it a break just as a hayfield gets a break between cuttings. Another tip is to feed in different locations with each feeding. Seed in the hay will help you a lot. As will the planned placement of fertility. [/QUOTE]
