Vett- I'm really not sure what kinda of grass, if any is growing now. Most of what I have is goat weeds, whatever grows those little white and yellow flowers, and scattered mesquite bushes. I would think that some of it is a prairie grass of some sort, I will try to take a few pictures of it...

Was talking to my neighbor Sunday while burning some brush piles ( finaly able to burn after 2 years of dry weather) and was entertaining the idea of him cutting my place (around 15 acres) in the spring for hay. It usually comes up about 1/4 rye and whatever native stuff. I told him that he...

What rye grass? There aint nothing growing around here. Even the evergreen cedar trees are turning brown. Oats tried to come up but never made it above the dirt. I guess thats what happens when your 10-15 inches below rainfall amounts. Sure hope it rains soon..... csutton
