We have a 40 acre hay field that has been over run by Johnson Grass. I had it sprayed by our the guy that farms our row crop ground, we are going to have him plant it in corn next year, then sow it down in the fall. The hay field was primarily KY-31 fescue, but I am going to going to go back...

I saw an article in the latest Hay and Forage Grower magazine about Teff Grass. Does anyone here have any experience with Teff or know where I can get in contact with someone who has some expreience. It looks like it could be a good crop for our crop rotation. Thanks Greg

I'm looking at diffrent crops to plant for hay in Western Kentucky. Our hay fields are just mixed grasses, mostly fescue with some clover and timothy mixed in. I'm trying to find some crops that will produce higher yields on our fields. Will probably be fertilized with 2.5-3 tons/ac of...
