Tall fescue is "clumpy" by nature but in Minn. you may have winter kill last year. I know that in a trial conduct at NDSU 70% of the tall fescue was winter killed last year.

Here is a situation: You are planting an orchardgrass hay field. Would you spend $10-15 more per acre for orchardgrass seed (upfront) if you could make $100 more per acre ever year after that? Pretty stupid question I know... so why then do so many forage producers (hay or grazers) buy cheap...

Its done well for us in Kentucky and a lot more hardy then orchardgrass

fescue can be good when managed right (using clover, stockpiling, etc...). its hard to fined that one "silver bullet" though. you can grow turnips and rye for winter feed and sundan grass or use chicory for summer feed. year around grazing requires a forage system (more than one type of...

Thats what I've heard too... for all the hype (and money) about novel endophytes it really comes down to management (as always). Thanks.

dun, have you used the novel endophyte variety and if so how old is your stand

very well put Dun. for both bronson and maxq you'll need to only graze down to 4-5 inches during the summer months. cattle like both of these fescues better than "hot" k-31 so if you let them they will graze bronson and maxq into the ground, killing the plants. however cattle don't like the...

if managed correctly the endophyte free varieties (at least Bronson) will perform well. Ask Tony at athens seed in GA. http://www.athensseed.com/ he has had max q and bronson side by side for 5 years on his farm with no difference.

Contact athens seed in GA www.athensseed.com they sale a tall fescue called bronson that is 1/2 the price and has been doing just as good as Max Q on their farm. Hi sugar ryegrasses are great if they persist in your area...(which is not a very big region) This region mostly is through Iowa...

try welter seed and honey....www.welterseed.com Pasja brassica works excellent for me with bruiser annual ryegrass. 3-4 pounds of pasja with 20-25lbs of ryegrass if you rotationaly graze them you can get 2-3 grazings. (graze down to 4 inches and move you animals to allow regrowth)

Steve, have you used Tekapo? if so what are your thoughts on it? i'm looking for a grazing orchardgrass.

do you know the names of the species you had in your mix? my guess is this is mostly festulolium. festulolium has awns similar to annual ryegrass whereas the perennial ryegrass does not. ryegrass and festuloliums establish and grow so fast that they out compete with other species in the first...

Sizmic, are you planting ProMax BMR again this summer? how did it work last year? we just planted some last weekend.

Festulolium works great if you get the right kind. there are many different crosses.... tall fescue by perennial ryegrass, tall fescue by italian ryegrass, meadow fescue by perennial ryegrass, etc... the meadow fescue by perennial is softer and higher forage quality. the tall fescue types...

here is a youtube video i found on chicory from Clemson http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3v5xcwD ... xt_from=PL

here is a great website. www.ampacseed.com/oasis.htm

6lbs of red clover per acre with the chicory

ProMax dries down fast and makes great hay.
