    Why not corn silage?

    I am looking at trying it for bred cows over winter. Cow/calf setup. What is too much in a days ration, or is this something to try and watch? trial and error

    Why not corn silage?

    Why do dairies use corn silage on a grand scale but the meat industry does not? Does it do something to the meat as the animal grows what is the reason behind it?

    Bermuda grass

    All I find for Midland 99 is sprigs. Does it come in seed form? I looked up spriggers for the Cal area and found none. How far can sprigs be shipped if a machine was to be found? I still think seeds is the way I need to go.

    Bermuda grass

    Why do all the seed sites I find say that Bermuda type grasses don't grow in N. Cal? Many of the grasses are suitable for Arizona but not Cal. This is all that grows in my pasture now.

    Semi-trash pump for sprinklers?

    Has anyone tried this? Would this just kill the pump? The ground is not level enough for flood irrigation so it needs to be sprinkled. 2" inlet and outlet. Pump rated at 9000 GPH. Water supply would be a canal.

    Irrigation pipe advice

    I am looking at upgrading my well to a 5hp or 7.5hp pump so that I can irrigate 10 acres about 1000' from the well. Flood irrigation is not possible because the ground is not level enough to work so I am looking at impacts. Well is a 10"casing at 125' and the water supply is large enough to...
