I rent a 10 foot great plains no-till every year from a neighbor. I drill in ryegrass some years and oats other years, after my cows graze down the pastures. It works well. It does take a pretty good tractor to pull it.

Used haylege for the first time this year. My hay man gave me the choice. He cut the hay off my place and stacked it in one long tube along the fence line. Had no problems with the plastic. The cows loved it. I usually had a box blade on the back of the tractor to counter the extra weight...

My hay man tells me that tift 85 needs the PH to be right more than other grasses.

Check with your local soil conservation office. They may have a loaner grain drill. Or your county agent may know a farmer that will rent a really good drill cheap. I rent a 10' Great Plains no till drill for $250 and drill in 20 acres on my pastures in the fall. I let the cows graze it down...

I also run a small wire with it so I can locate it when I dig in that area. Learned the hard way digging post holes and worst of all when putting up the tent for my daughters wedding. Hit the darn water line three different times!

Oldcrow - What are you using to get rid of the dog finnel? We have had a major influx of thistle in south Georgia in the last three years. In pastures and along the roadway. I spot spray my neighbors old unused pasture and never say a word. Easiest way to keep it out of my pastures.

My recommendation is to get more HP than you think you will need. I've upgraded twice and wish I had gone for more Horsepower.

We had 'em bad this year in South Georgia. My hay man had to spray twice and by the time he knocked them out, all that was left was stems. One good thing was that the grass (Tift 85) grew back real fast.

I have Tift 85 and love it. No way in the world for the cows to keep up with it in the summer. It has come in good enough already this year that my cows are on pasture only. I rent out three of my five pastures in the summer so I don't have to mow them, then trade rent for hay. My hay man...

I would spend my money to clear and fence what I already own. 100 acres with new fence and cross fenced the way you want it is hard to beat.

My place is located in South Georgia and is planted in Tift 85. I love it and so does my hay man. In the summers the cows can't keep up with the grass so we roll hay. Some of my neighbors have Tift 9 and are happy with it. They say the seed shafts on the Tift 9 are more palatable to the cows...

One thing you need to be aware of is as the stumps rot, they will leave holes. You could call them booby traps. I have had the experience on my horse and on foot while quail hunting several times. You can't see the hole because there is a crust of topsoil over it but it will not hold up a...
