Hello I'm am looking to start a stock cow operation on 10 acres in Oak Harbor, WA. I'm looking for advice of how many 500 to 900 pound calves I should be able to forage per acre.
Well it only floods in the Winter months which is the rainy season... In the summer time the grass that grows seems to drink the water and keep it pretty dry.
I have 10 acres in western Washington that floods pretty good in the winter months on certain parts. I was wondering if there is any way to possibly control the flooding by planting a certain kind of grass or even making some kind of ditch to drain the water away. If some of you don't know it...
does anyone know someone that farms the far west part of texas that i might be able to get pointers from...the county extension said i could plant a native grass mix and it might do pretty well with irigation if i was planted at the right time
I TALKED TO THE COUNTY EXTENSION AND THEY SAY A MIXTURE A NATURAL GRASSES FROM THE AREA WOULD PROBABLY BE BEST...GRASSES LIKE BERMUDA, BUFFALO, BLUE GRAMMA
