    Questions on Drilling Grass

    Not at same time, I've grazed it during winter and early spring, then move them to let it grow for hay. But I've acquired some new hay ground, if it works out I will only graze what I'm drilling. My main concern is planting in dry conditions and so late in the year.

    Fertilizing Hay/Pasture Land and Winter Grass

    I have some pasture land that I closed off to cut for hay. Had hoped for two cuttings, but because of the wettest summer ever and some other things, we got it rolled today. In the spring I put 150lb of nitrogen per acre on it and that really helped our hay. I plan to turn the cows back on this...

    Liquid Calcium

    I'm interested in hearing your thoughts on the use of liquid Calcium on pastures or hay fields. Any thoughts, what type results you got? How does the cost compare to lime? Did you put it out or have a fertilizer dealer put it out? Dealer's sales pitch, helps with weed control...thoughts on that...

    Spraying Pasture Weeds with 2-4-D

    Is it OK for cows to be on the pasture while I'm spraying with 2-4-D? Needed to spray a month ago, not had many days without wind or rain or both. We have a bad crop of Spring weeds.

    Sowing Fescue

    I plan to over seed some rye grass on pasture land next. While I am sowing, I'm thinking about sowing some fescue as well. What do you think, will I be OK in sowing fescue now in North Alabama?

    Dogfennel and Horsenettle

    Need some ideas on spraying dogfennel and horsenettle in pastures, I've got dogfennel bad in one pasture and some horsenettle in every pasture. The problem I have is we farm sweet potatoes and use barn compost to bed plants, so Grazon is not an option for me. I've sprayed 2-4-D with a...

    What is it?

    I'm not sure, but I have found a good weed ID program on the University of Tennessee's Ag website. I would put a link to it on here, if I knew how, sorry.

    Rye grass

    Here in North Alabama, I've been grazing ours for a couple hours at a time for a little over a week. I divided the rye pastures w/elec fence and have rotated them to different fields each day. *Note: FYI, I've had several farmers (including my Dad) tell me to have high Mag mineral available to...
