I haven't paid anyone to chisel plow;however, this late spring we did pay to have 60 acres disced, smoothed with drag, seed broadcast ( that we provided ) and rolled. The total cost was $4,000.

I will gladly take some of that rain off your hands; we're dry up our way. :lol:

We've had a dry spell since mid-June. If I remember correctly, we've had about 2" since then - a quarter inch or less at a time- up until yesterday.

We've been blessed with 2 inches of rain this morning and it's still raining. Thank you, Lord, for answered prayers!

IF you get a nice stand of grass, you can graze it lightly. Next year's crop depends on not only the seed produced but the plants from this year. I don't doubt that WW B Dahl is expected to be $25/lb next year. I paid $20/lb this spring from Turner Seed in Breckenridge.

early not rarely. stupid autocorrect.

we had overseeded with ryegrass for an rarely first cutting. we finally got it cut and baled over Memorial Day weekend....about 3-4 weeks past it's prime. the cows won't care in January :) . the regrowth is beautiful, lush and green ......except for the drowned out areas.

The 10+ inches of rain in May alone is causing some problems in my hay meadow. It appears there are several low lying areas that sat underwater too long and the grass has died. :( The rest of the meadow is growing like the proverbial house afire. Looks like next year's project will be...

Thanks for all the suggestions. When we started this project on December 17th, the plan was to have cleanup/clearing done and seed planted by mid-April. Mother Nature had other plans. Now I'm trying to figure out something for erosion control on the areas that are being cleared. Hopefully, next...

we're in the process of clearing 35+/- acres since early spring. the rain has really slowed down progress on this project. i'm leaning towards a warm season annual this year for erosion control and some grazing. any suggestions regarding what to plant here in North Central Texas? i have zero...

hay guy is cutting our past it's prime ryegrass,vetch and clover as I type. weather liars say no rain til Tuesday- that's best forecast for making hay we've had all month.

Just checked the gauge; it's at 2.1inches and still raining. I'm thankful for the rain but we really need a small break to get some hay cut and baled. We've been trying to clear and clean up a pasture since mid December. The weather has really slowed us down to say the least. I heard on the news...

We just fertilized 55 acres with 32-10-10 ( I think; I know the N was 32 but can't remember with the P & K were 10-10 or 0-10) at 200 pounds per acre. The bill was $2800 and change.

That's high compared to the guy that does ours. He charges $1.95/foot AND he's supplying the materials. Another couple of guys in the area charge $2- $2.15/foot. These are current prices as of the last month/6 weeks. With these prices in our area, we haven't built our own fences in years.

What a blessing!

The weather liars are calling for rain on Saturday so we slung out some fertilizer out on a couple of pastures this morning. We don't generally fertilize much besides the hay meadow but we're renovating a couple of pastures this year. I don't want to graze them much if any this year so we bit...

I Indeed. This is why we Texans in general don't have the fancy feeding set ups referenced above. :lol: Thanks for the awesome ideas.

We've had almost 20 inches of rain since the first of September. This has me thinking ahead to feeding hay in these conditions. At this rate the mud around the hay rings will be 3 feet deep even moving them every time we feed. What do y'all do to mitigate the mud issues when feeding hay in the...

I've been waiting; I think the time's right this weekend. The weather liars have rain in our forecast several times the next 10 days AND the temps are supposed to be highs in the 70s next week and 60s the following week.

I was stockpiling Bermuda grass ........until the army worms showed up in biblical proportions. :( We starting spraying then the rain started -almost 4 inches yesterday and more in the forecast. My stockpiling plans are shot to $hit at this point I fear. It's been a challenging year with...
