We have been spraying 2-3 times over about 2 months and then disk, harrow, fertilize, seed. Bear

AC, I talked with a guy yesterday here that has ties in Oklahoma and Texas. He said that some were paying close to $100.00 a roll by the time freight was entered into it. Fuel is driving the price almost as much as the shortage of grass. Bear

Most of the University Studies do not show the hazard in eating the produce, although most recommend against it. The greatest hazard seems to be coming into direct contact or inhaling airborne particles. Fields treated with lime after the sludge is applied could actually be more hazardous to...

How about the possibility of E. coli contamination. Of particular concern would be E. coli: O157:H7. Do a search on E. coli and your garden. I get a number of people that ask about this every year. It will help just about anything you put it on, but I have never found enough sources one sided...

If you are worried about liability, you would probably be better served to discuss your concerns with an attorney. Bear

I fully understand your comparison to a backhoe. A point was made during this topic about maximizing carrying capacity, gross income and not having to fertilize as often using rotational grazing. I was jokingly making the point that if by self producing hay and a carrying capacity of (in our...

Most people around here running Sitrex. How do they compare with others? Bear

It seems that if you are maximizing your carrying capacity and gross income was the only concern, it would not matter if you had 10 acres or 10,000 acres, everyone in the cattle business should buy hay. Everybody in the cattle business sells their hay equipment, demand and cost of new hay...

The Supreme Court lifted the nationwide ban in June, 2010. There was to be an Environmental Impact Study done on genetically altered seeds. I believe this report was made public in December 2010. http://www.roundupreadyalfalfa.com

Is anyone looking at Roundup Ready Alfalfa? Bear

Unless you really need the ground, I would go with your gut. Life is to short and dealing with him certainly doesn't sound like it has been or will be easy. If he is desperate I think I would try to humble him a little. Stall for a while. Take control of the situation and make him come back a...

What did you use to plant your Rye? Bear

If you can tell me the fill rate of the waterers at specified psi, number of waterers and number of waterers used at one time. Footage in between waters and the pipe material you would like to use, I can tell you pipe size and optimum pressure to run the waterers 1/4 mile away. I would also need...

I would use 2" 200 psi gasketed joint pipe for your main line and 3/4" or 1" pressure rated polyethylene for the branches going to your waterers. The gasketed pipe slips together quick. The tees for the branches would probably be schedule 40 glue. When using gasketed pipe be sure and use kickers...

I would use a ripper or sub-soiler to pull the roots. Then offset disk and tandem disk, roll and seed. Bear

Agmantoo Do you get much snow and ice during the winters? Bear

Thanks for the help! Bear

Some pastures will be planted with a pasture mix and some will be planted with meadow brome. Will a seedbed prep vs no till benefit so far as quicker and thicker grass stand, and also quicker root formation? Bear

Looking at a 10 ft. landpride PS25 seeder to plant grass. The seeder distributes seed evenly across the width of the seeder instead of rows from a drill. I plan on spraying and working up the ground. How does the seeder work in comparison to a drill? Bear

It would be best if the ground and chipped material was burned and then disked into the ground. If chipped material was already disked into the ground it could be awhile before soil is stable. Cleared about 15 acres of thick cedars in the Truman Lake area. Pushed up into piles in the spring...
