Sounds very similar to a lot of the ground around here. My family first came here around the turn of the century to do just that.. farm peanuts. I wonder if it would pay to keep the land in annuals for a year after the cotton plays out to help hold the soil and bring in some organic matter...

I haven't got any hands on experience with Tifton - beyond taking a soil test every year or 2, is there an approximate amount of N that is typically used in a grazing setting? Even in good years we typically only bale once on the hay ground, so grazing becomes the primary use. I admit the...

Thank you for your insight Steve. I suppose it's always best not have all your eggs in one basket..

I did some digging on it just for fun - doesn’t look like anyone up here plants any and I certainly wouldn’t want to be the one accused of bringing something new in even if it was easy lol it would tick a lot of boxes though!

BC, I appreciate the insight. We do have some land in coastal nearby and a portion of it we primarily graze. Try to keep the ph right and just spray for weeds in the spring. What my Dad and I have pondered for awhile is if the unfertilized coastal Is really outperforming a good stand of natives...

Thanks for the link bird dog. I have had good luck with turner in the past. I’d certainly have no complaints if I could have a good balance of big blue. Yes there is a lot of good hay ground around the area. I just can’t bring myself to sprig whenever I’ve got myself convinced it’s the right...

We have considered leaving a portion in cultivation to double crop winter wheat and crabgrass. Guess I hadnt considered crabgrass otherwise. I appreciate the suggestion.

My folks have a place that has been in cotton for awhile (leased.) we’ve always talked about converting to pasture but never get around to it. curious what y’all would consider implementing in this situation. This is southern Eastland county, TX. Very deep sand, mostly fine sandy loam soils...

Thank you much for tip, I will have to do that. I do have some hair sheep to contend with and I've heard it's toxic for them, but wouldn't be impossible to manage around if it's held in such high regards.

I appreciate the insight. I don't have any first hand experience with Dahl. I was hoping it would be the right balance of improved forage and wildlife friendly. Not to change topics, but for someone looking at experimenting with Dahl on decent ground, what would you recommend that is also...

Thanks for the feedback. I'd certainly be happy with those results.

Not sure if this has already been mentioned, but one thing to consider when doing the year to year dance of balancing beef and grass... Don't be afraid to set set the shredder super high, and cut in the boot stage, maybe a few weeks ahead of the rotations. It isn't perfect, but in my experience...

Thank you for the insight, I appreciate it. Did y'all get the seed in the ground this year? If so, how did it come up for you?

Well hopefully you saved yourself some money buying it a few years back, despite a decent spring I've heard to expect 25+ dollars per pound this year. Do you recall if Dillard's was selling bearded or clipped/beardless seeds?

Hello all, I have a new place close to town that I'm looking to maximize production on, thinking it might be a place to fall calve heifers on, so I'm trying to manipulate our pastures accordingly. I've been researching WW B Dahl for some time and I think this fall I'm going to invest in some...
