We are about to have 20 acres of our pasture cut for hay. It is fescue/bermuda (mostly fescue) and there is a pretty good stand of it. We got some good rains early in the spring and it really took off. It has not been fertilized. My question is, how many 4X5 round bales might I expect to get on...

The county extension offices can do this right? What will they need exactly? Do I just bust open a bale and take them a sample from the center? Thanks, Zach

Thanks for the great advice Dun. Where are you located in MO? What do you mean exactly by Basal spray? Thanks again, Zach

I am in the process of buying 70 acres. The place has not had a cow on it in two years and doesn't look like it has been bush-hogged this year at all. It has a good stand of bermuda in some areas, fescue in others, and some areas are a little weak with grass(mainly because the weeds are taking...

Hello all. I am turning 16 acres of row crop into pasture. I have researched thouroughly and decided that for my situation and climate, Tifton 44 Bermuda will best suit my needs. I have my sprigging lined up for next spring. We are going to sprig at a rate of 60 bushels/acre. I have already...

A friend of mine has access to 2,000 acres of rice straw and is bailing right behind the combine at this very moment. He is going to bale as much as he can before we start getting rain off this next hurricane that is in the gulf right now. Some have said that the rice straw doesn't have many...

Hello Everyone. I have purchased 16 acres of row crop land (currently soybeans) and I am going to fence it this fall and sew bermuda next spring. I am going to run cow/calf on it (hopefully about 16 momma cows eventually). I don't know much about the different types of Bermuda and their...
