Most everyone now uses the Relative Feed Value (RFV) to determine the quality of hay. You RFV is listed at the bottom of the page. This may help understand RFV = http://www.prognutrition.com/libraryrfv.html

Anybody from Alabama feeding hay now ??? It's so dry here that I think I will have to begin feeding hay in the next few days if it doesn't begin raining.

A couple of weeks ago, my son called and said that he had a bunch of worms in his front yard and wanted to know if I had anything to spray on them? I drove over to his house to have a look and drop off some Sevin and the garden hose sprayer. When I saw the worms, I saw that they were army worms...

I have a couple of patches of these briars on a pasture hillside. I was thinking about hitting them with 2-4-D while cleaning up one of the pastures. Will 2-4-D do anything to the briars? If so, what strength? I guess I need to read the 2-4-D label but havn't yet since it is stored in the...

Joo, I just read the following this morning and thought of your comment here in this thread - http://deltafarmpress.com/cotton/new-herbicide-resistance-technology-0804/

For a couple of years I have been wanting to try something different regarding spring grazing. I have a 6 acre Costal field in front of the barn that has gone dormant since the frost in late October. Today I ran the disk over it lightly to break the top up. I did this for a couple of reasons, 1...

I had 2 tons per acre applied on my fields about 6 weeks ago. Part of my soil samples called for 1.5 tons and the other called for 1.75 tons. Due to the distance I paid $34 per ton spread but that is the going rate here with the fuel cost. Here is a link I posted earlier this summer which...

I'm sold on the MaxQ. But I guess everbody already knows that based on my previous posting about the MaxQ.

Joo is absolutely correct, if your PH is not right, you are wasting some of your money on fertlizer. The link below explains this better than I or Joo could explain. That why I will be spending my next money on lime to get ready for next years haying season...

I fertlized based on the soil test and got 96 5'x4' rolls off 13.5 acres of MaxQ. That comes out to be 7.1 rolls per acre. This is a 41% increase over last year when I only got 68 5'x4' rolls on the same ground. This year I had plenty of rain at the right time, last year we had hardly any rain...

A section of land is 640 acres or 1 mile square

Wewild, Acutally I used the spear in the flat side of the bale and just set the 1st layer down at an angle and let it fall over. The second layer I did the same way but let the leading lower edge just touch the top of the bale on the 1st layer, I then let it fall into the 1st layer. The first...

Update - Tuesday May 20th - with a 50% chance of thunderstorms today we were hoping to get the hay baled & in the barn before the rain started. GOD had pity on us and allowed us to finish the haying before the rain. The last bale went into the barn at around 3:30pm and the rains started around...

Doohickey ? You are gonna be suprised ! Thingamajig ? Might want to put those words back. Don't let it, lifes too short. Sounds like an accident waiting to happen. Here is a closeup picture of the doohickey / thingamajig / suspense killer / towbar - Ther tractor belongs to my...

Joo, I dropped by the Regional County agents home yesterday and picked up the core bit. Tomorrow when we bale, I will have Pop in the truck going around taken core samples as soon as they come out of the baler. I'll have it tested again and we will see how it turns out. $15 for the hay analais...

Here is a great article on contoling fireants written by one of my Buddies - I have used this process and got about 2 years before the fireants moved back in. I plan on fighting the fireants again this fall. http://www.aces.edu/dept/fireants/documents/dorough_000.pdf

As you saw in my other post on "Who's cutting Hay" - the neighbor and I put 24 acres of Costal and 13 acres of MaxQ on the ground today. Expect to bail the Costal on Monday and the MaxQ on Tuesday. Here are a few pictures of my MaxQ which looks to be about the same as last years hay. I believe...

The neighbor and I put 24 acres of Costal and 13 acres of MaxQ on the ground today. Expect to bail costal on monday and MaxQ on Tuesday. This afternoon I made a trip to S-I-Ls (about 40 miles away) and saw several folks who had cut or was cutting.

Someone on here can give you a more professional answere but, Liquid soap can be used as a surfacant, although it is not as good as the surfacant you can buy. A surfacant helps the molicules of water be sbsorbed by the leaves of what you are spraying. Shomething about water surface tension and...

We started about 4 years ago batteling the thistle. We sprayed the problem areas with 24D. Then as a followup when we rode around the pasture on the 4 wheeler checking the cows we took a hoe and a 1 qt spray bottle full of glosphate (generic roundup). As we came across the thistle we would chop...
