I had to pull mine out the barn from last week. Had some weird readings. Hoping these cold nights will cool them down. They're not squatting though. Rolled with dew moisture after dark. I thought it was super dry the day before. Evidently not. What I've got down right now is taking it's sweet...

It's definitely going to have pros and cons regardless of which way we go. Both intended and unintended. Who knows though... could turn dry and hot next month and I graaze it by August/September. That's been the trend the last few years.

Won't be any thatch anyways after it's strip grazed this fall. I went back and walked it again, really is pretty bad. Don't think it'd make hay worth wasting diesel on. This spot the stuff laid over was 6 inches high. Feels awesome walking on it. Lol. Good on the ol back.

That's where I'm at too. I'm dying to see what happens. Would have to be a hell of a soil improvement if nothing else. Would be a lot of mass there to strip graze this fall/winter.

I really appreciate you sharing that. I went back just now and looked again. If it doesn't get any worse between now and the next weather window, I'm going to cut the front half of it. It's not as bad as the back from what I can tell. So thanks for the encouragement.

Dug up a clover root today, curious about the nitrogen fixation. The one I got had a pretty good amount I feel like. Especially up top near the surface. But also had them 7 inches down. Roots broke off at 8 inches.

Hope it turns out for you all.

Correct. No trouble with regrowth. There's about 12-16 inches of pretty clover above the mat. The leaves down in the mat are black and gooey, the stems just laid down and turned up again and are growing, so I'm not concerned with it being a problem in that way. I'm thinking it's going to work...

Well, went to check on the pasture ground I planned to hay in the coming weeks. The clover has been laid down for at least 2 weeks and is rotting on bottom. 3 to 5 inch mat of the stuff, black and gooey. Was sad. Lol. It had been up level with the 4 wheeler seat. What's yalls thoughts on...

My most favorite legume. My Papaw calls it "begger's lice." I like the name tick-trefoil. Has a leaf like a soybean. I've encouraged it since I got here and it sure has responded favorably with grazing. It's now everywhere.

Have been torn as to whether to cut some for hay or just let it stockpile til I can get animals to it. It's been so wet and I'm so behind on hay that it's going to stockpile til I get to it. 😆 The last picture is 2.5 or 3 weeks of regrowth. Been waiting 3 years for a good spring, and we finally...

Over achiever... 😉

Neighbors granddaughter and her new boyfriend did that a couple weeks ago. They shot for 5 or 6 hours. I assume it was a .22 l, otherwise they spent some serious coin that day.

I've paid between 30 and 50 per acre here in TN. Has been worth every penny.

Is this Virginia Wild Rye? I believe this is the same as the first one picture of the thread. Has bearded type seed. It's a sod type grass. Small leaves compared to most of the rest. This one somewhat resembles fescue, but it's not.

@Mark Reynolds Found one that had sent the seed out. It's a real pretty grass. The leaf shape is definitely unique from everything else. These leaf blades are 5/8" wide. Stem is close to 3/16 at the ground.

The seedhead had not emerged yet. I pulled some leaf back to expose it. Possibly the reason they're so thin? Keeping my eye out for a mature clump. I've got a type of brome that was brought in thru hay from the lease in Morristown. It's a helluva producer. I'll try to compare the two.

I wondered this whole time if it could be brome, but I've never seen it before. That's pretty dang neat!

I found another clump yesterday. Has the thinnest little seeds.

You know I be disliking people. 😆 I would like to get some organic matter readings as well as some soil nutrient levels. Curious what the organic N would be with all this Clover. Based on thr color of the Clover, to my understanding, it is definitely fixing N.
