    MSMA

    That’s one thing I read about it, am trying to learn more about it. Since that is a hard no I guess what I read was wrong ? Do you know a lot about MSMA ? Have or do you use it ? Like I said I am trying to learn more about it. Can you tell me what you know about it. Also read the high way...

    Calling all you good diesel mechanics

    Is the baler much heavier than the TMR wagon ?

    Calling all you good diesel mechanics

    Has it always had problems pulling hills or just recently started ?

    Bermuda vs. Bahia seed

    That sounds like good horse hay. Have you ever had any problems with some type of fescue poison ? I was reading that fescue is good horse hay. Have also heard terms like fescue foot, cattle losing their tales because blood flow restrictions caused by fescue. Because of those things I have...

    MSMA

    Have been reading about MSMA. Read that it is not intended for weed control on pasture that live stock will graze and that hay will be cut off of. It is only supposed to be applied 2 times a year. It isn’t supposed to be used on play grounds that kids will play on. It takes 999 years...

    Bermuda vs. Bahia seed

    Because I won’t spray MSMA my Bermuda probably won’t come close to being as pure as theirs. And I am sure people will want theirs over mine. But mine will not have been sprayed with a chemical that’s been not recommended to use on hay or pasture because of its arsenic content. I know a lot of...

    Bermuda vs. Bahia seed

    I done a complete kill on 55 acres that I plan on seeding the first week of May. Sprayed the field with 2 1/2 gallons of roundup pro. The last week of March. What Bermuda grass was growing at the time was dormant. It is now green along with a lot of other mixed grasses that I plan on killing...

    Bermuda vs. Bahia seed

    That is what the guy that works for one of the big hay producers here told me. He said they get 6 cuttings a year off of guessing 800 acres of Bermuda grass. Cut every 28 days regardless of grass height because it is mature at that time. And spray after each cutting with MSMA. Ship the hay...

    Bermuda vs. Bahia seed

    The one thing you might want to compare is the tonnage per acre. Might be wrong but the Bermuda grass might produce more than the Bahai ? But even then Bermuda is sort of a short season grass depending on your location. I don’t know how Bahai holds up in cold weather. You might not have that...

    Bermuda vs. Bahia seed

    I haven’t gotten any prices on sprigging. I decided to go with Wrangler because of my location I think it would work best for me. Had a hard time finding seed but finally did. Kind of regretting going with Bermuda grass because of all the maintenance required to try and keep it weed free as...

    Bermuda vs. Bahia seed

    Made a mistake. Recommended seed rate for Wrangler seed is 11 lbs per acre. So a 50 lb bag of feed at $ 356 a bag will seed around 4 acres. Still expensive gamble.

    Bermuda vs. Bahia seed

    I am probably going to try seeding some. But seeding seems like a real big gamble. $ 356 or more per acre for seed alone.

    Bermuda vs. Bahia seed

    All I done to establish my 3 acres was to kill out the existing grass with roundup. Went over the field with a disc. The man I bought the sprigs from had a sprig digger that off loaded the sprigs onto my 16 foot utility trailer. My wife and I just used our hands to scatter the sprigs off of...

    Bermuda vs. Bahia seed

    Did you use a sprig planter or seed your fields ? How did you get them established ?

    Bermuda vs. Bahia seed

    That’s pretty much what I have too. I think that if you run cattle on about any pasture in central Arkansas and I would guess in other states that border Arkansas that’s what you will have growing. Which is fine for cattle. I will be 63 soon and am not getting back into cattle except for...

    Bermuda vs. Bahia seed

    I know of a Bermuda grass producer who has been in business for 40 years plus. Sell's to mostly horse people. Just guessing he grows 1 maybe 200 acres. His fields are planted in Guymon Bermuda grass. I know of another Bermuda grass producer located within 30 miles of this one. That has...

    Excitement

    Do you think he might have been scouting your place and watching you to know when would be a good time to try what they did last night ? Is there valuable stuff that they could steal that would be worth their while ? Do you think they will try again ? Don’t know how to go about it but maybe...

    Ever tried cable for a hot wire?

    Have 20 acres under electric fence. The main problem I have with it is when it gets really dry like during this drought. It sometimes won’t work at all. Am pretty sure it’s because the ground rods aren’t making good ground. The only thing I would think might be a problem with using cable...

    Shipping Containers

    That’s what I have in mind doing. There are so many chicken farms going out of business it’s pretty easy to find metal trusses that span 50’. I built one pole barn using telephone poles, chicken house trusses & the roof tin from them. It was a 50 long x 75’ wide. Seems like it took 31...
