    Trouble finding Rye and Ryegrass in South?

    The drought down south wiped out most of the southern rye crop (straincross rye's) and that has now but a strain on the northern rye supply. Talking grain rye's, not ryegrasses. Annual ryegrass use has been up this year as well, but there is a pretty good supply.

    ENDOPHYTE

    I can't see how anyone could possibly rationalize paying $3.50 per lb. for a Novel Endophyte fescue when an Endophyte free is at least $2 per lb cheaper and KY31 would be another $.30-40 cheaper than that. Your spending decent alfalfa money on fescue....... Add clover and lespedeza and save...

    Fescue Prices

    Sounds like it has been a really poor year for most cutting fescue. If I were a betting man I would say we will see prices over $.40 next year for the farmer. If your needing some seed for the fall I would buy it now as I think seed prices across the board will jump up.

    Fescue Prices

    I'm in Rolla. Seed is a little spotty around here. Lots of it got mowed down that week we were dry. Kansas and Oregon both have a pretty good crop.

    Fescue Prices

    Looks like the price of fescue out of the field will start at about .35 wet and .33 dry to the farmer this year.

    A "standard" round bale of well-dried bermuda hay...

    Lets see if I can post a picture. That's from Southern Forages. Should only be used as a guide. As has been noted moisture and density will play a large part. Best thing to do would be to head to the scale if your buying hay and do it by the ton.

    Experience with these bulls??

    I always thought they would make some dandy Balancers.

    grabgrass

    Crabgrass should be pretty easy to establish. It likes N and it should keep coming back if you let it reseed itself. It is a warm season grass, so it won't help you much Oct.-March. I would guess you could overseed it with annual ryegrass during those months to get some early spring grazing...

    Roundup Ready Alfalfa

    Alfalfa passes through a cow's digestive system in half the time that a grass hay passes through..... so the cow doesn't have time to fully digest everything in the alfalfa. If you mix grass in with it then you slow down the process which aids in digestion: Initial research with reduced-lignin...

    Roundup Ready Alfalfa

    That is not contained in the form we have. The only agreement is with the dealer. Buy the seed through your seed dealer. They sign a basic dealer agreement and the grower fills out a sheet with field GPS coordinates, their name, address, tech number and that is it. I personnally don't...

    Roundup Ready Alfalfa

    Given that the technology agreement covers virtually every roundup ready product including corn and beans I am not sure what the real issue is? Given the millions of acres of roundup ready crops in production, and the comparitively limited acres of roundup ready alfalfa, I can't really see the...

    Sudan Grass

    You do need to be careful with prussic acid and nitrate toxicity. If you are really leary of it you might try Pearl Millet which still has some nitrate issues but no prussic acid dangers. If your worried about stems you might try a BMR-6 gene Hybrid Sorghum Sudangrass like Surpass. It is...

    Roundup Ready Alfalfa

    I would be curious where your located and where you saw it........... since I am going to be selling it and I haven't even seen it yet?

    Warm season legumes.

    Marion is no longer in commercial production. I agree that Kobe or Korean Lespedeza is a good bet.
