    What to plant - Texas Tough or Common Bermuda??

    I PM'd you regarding this. You didn't even have the decency to come to me privately regarding this, especially cause your claims are so irrelevant and have no substance. I'm not thrilled about it at all. But I have nothing to worry about, cause every word what I said was true. I have what I...

    Storing hay in Barn

    I did the same in my barns. The first year I tried putting about 1" gravel in the bottom for about 4" and it still pulled the moisture through it. So the next year I went ahead and put down billboard signs I bought, they were pretty cheap and real thick. That and a little loose hay on top...

    What to plant - Texas Tough or Common Bermuda??

    The places I have currently are not irrigated. I am looking into buying another place to irrigate for hay and run stockers on. The past 4 years I've been successful with maintianing the growth at 21 days. Never let it go over 28 days. One of the things that helps is having all the equipment...

    What to plant - Texas Tough or Common Bermuda??

    Typo on above, sorry. Liquid Urea at 32-0-0, that's what I use for this. 42-0-0 I use on something else.

    What to plant - Texas Tough or Common Bermuda??

    I applied 42-0-0 at 200# actual N/acre. Which is giving me about 7750-8500# of hay/acre/cutting. Putting that amount out gives me both quality and quantity. I cut it before it heads out pre-boot stage, about 21 days of growth(no more than 28) Which is a bit taller than your knee. If I were...

    What to plant - Texas Tough or Common Bermuda??

    One more thing, cost and maintenance is only as expensive as you want it to be. No fertilizing, or weed control, expect about 2000#/acre. You can increase that, and control it by the rates of actual N you put down. I know for my operation, it's different cause my customers want quality hay...

    What to plant - Texas Tough or Common Bermuda??

    Here's something FarmGirl. I wouldn't recommend Tif. 85 unless you can get adequate water to it. It takes more water than Coastal. Sprigg either Coastal or Jiggs. With the same amount of inputs the Jiggs will yield approx. 40% more than Coastal. You can easily get by doing it yourself with...

    When to hay???

    If it's a bermuda, then you need to cut it before it heads out. Will be about knee high or so, no longer than about 28 days. You also need to think about what type of hay you want, you want volume or quality?? Quality needs to be before it heads out and about 21 days growth, volume just let...
