Ha! Just trying to relate to you Davetta. Yes, we should all fear the carbon. You can stop exhaling anytime :cowboy:

No offense intended to Hurly but- Ahh yes, another wacko liberal worship the earth wet dream funded by the tax payers. I nearly threw up trying to read through that tripe, but of course its from the wapo, what else should I have expected. And I should point out that in Texas we practice that...

sittin on about 3.5 here, 90% chance of severe storms tonight, we'll see :?

Fields have some minor flooding this, fertilizer will wait. How's your fields looking this am Tex?

Think I may get out first thing Sunday morning and spray what I have, will have to wait till Monday morning for a second tank when the very dealer is open again. Just hope there is some rain left on monday

Weather say heavy rains tonight and tomorrow (4.5 inches) cant decide if I should put down 32 uan now on coastal fields and risk leach/washout or wait and see if Monday might be better. Reading tells me that wet soil and plant residue without rain is recipe for high N volitization. Not sure if...

Well, I got 1,000 pounds of TAM 90 planted and put together a drag like brute suggested and it worked fine. The fert spreader the dealer loaded spread the seed at about 50lbs an acre where I was shooting for 25lbs so I have two heavly sowed pastures instead of my targeted four :o Now we just...

stopped by a JD dealer and priced a 12' harrow- $1,350 The salesman said it weighed 700lbs. It looks like those tines would really tear up the coastal if drug with the tines pointed in the in the down position. Should I be concerned about that?

Hmm, maybe one could pull the distributor with a harrow dragging off the back of that? Is there a nitro formulation that will slowwwww release all the way into spring if I put it down now?

Hey Cowboy, any of those dealers near Comanche? thnx bman

Got to wondering, if I am over-seeding a coastal pasture with Rye grass is it possible to pull a grain/seed drill behind a 4wd truck? trying to come up with a means to overseed without having to rent or buy too many pieces of equipment (tractor, seed spreader, harrow) Any ideas on how to over...

Suggestions on making a Harrow to drag over a coastal pasture after seeding annual rye? Figure 50HP tractor. Or what would you suggest for new purchase as opposed to building something? thnx bman

For perspective here is a pic of my ground. Some areas are dry (drought dormancy?) while other lower lying areas are green. The pasture was cut and baled a while back but hasnt recieved enough rain to take off again. Do you suppose that the rye will sprout and take root in that thin dusting of...

rye grass

Well here goes. Got my 74 acres of coastal in north central Texas (Comanche county) and am wondering about the seeding rate for broadcasting annual rye grass seed on my coastal fields for grazing later this year/beginning of next year. How many pounds per acre have/would you seed if broadcasting...

I have been looking at all sorts of options for starting a small cattle operation around central Texas (Brown, Comanche, Callahan county's) Saw a 100 acre piece this week end in Comanche county that is rolling to slightly rugged terrain in sandy loam soil growing what appears to be a native...

My thinking here is to have some of my own coastal fields cut and baled and put up until late fall and then bring in the new crop of stockers feeding them baled coastal and letting them graze on the over seeded (winter wheat?) coastal fields until the warm season grass comes back in spring. Just...

Was talking with an agent some months back about my idea of putting up coastal hay in summer and bringing stockers on the place in late fall and feeding the hay. he seemed to say that you gotta have more than coastal hay for stockers to put on good gain. Can this work if I over seed the coastal...
