    Utility company drives through new seeding

    We had the power company come one time to "bush hog the right of ways" that happened to be right thru our hay field.

    Chopping corn

    I think that pile needs to be packed a little more. Looks like those ridges between tire tracks could be flattened out some more by overlapping the tracks.

    Ky 31 Fescue Pastures

    Should I pretty much give up on the idea of fescue hay production and just fence it in and make it pasture?

    Ky 31 Fescue Pastures

    What is you recommendation for how to handle and existing stand of KY 31 Fescue? I just attended a class regarding the use of beneficial endophyte fescue such as MaxQ, but I'm not sure I've got the finances to change everything right now. Should I just forget the ability to bale any and keep...

    Pigweed

    We've found that the key is to get it while it's small. About 8" is max for the spray to be effective in our experience.

    From what I've heard the guarantees relate to the "roundup-ready" plants such as corn and soybeans. Were told that we could use the Honcho as our burndown before planting, but to use Roundup after everything had come up b/c if something bad happened, the seed companies would only warranty...

    Pearl Millet

    The post above is very informative regarding grazing of the pearl millet, but I too would like info from anyone who has planted it for Hay. We have a couple of areas in a fescue field that are very very thin. I think that the hay cutter got a little to low last year and the fescue isn't...

    Creek bottom land pastures

    Around here I've heard they are re-establishing the 100yr flood plains b/c when it was done last, they ran out of time/money and decided to just guess. Lots of times they guessed wrong.
