    How much to custom bale

    It's been about 3 weeks since I've been able to get to my back pasture which I call the "Hay Patch", about 25 acres.

    Converting From Jiggs to Bahia

    Bear with me, I've had a couple of beers. I have 25 acres of Jiggs grass and was thinking of going to Bahia.
