    No till drilling fescue orchard grass mix ?

    Well I drilled 25# per acre of just fescue last weekend. It`s really dry here right now we got a few drops to settle the dust last night but I`m hoping for some rain soon. I guess the seed is in the ground so the birds can`t eat it and will come up whenever we do get a good rain.

    No till drilling fescue orchard grass mix ?

    I need to drill some cool season grasses in my pasture which is currently mostly crabgrass. My question is how tall of grass will the drill work in ? Some is 4-5 inches tall but where the cows have fertilized its more like 10-12 inches. Should I just go ahead and bush hog it again then drill it...

    Baler question

    Also when the baler is full it would really push the tractor around on the hills just the baler probably weighs more than a 75 pto. hp. tractor. might work on flat ground just be much slower.

    Hay rings with the skirts at the bottom ?

    I wound up just getting a regular Tarter gate feeder from TSC. I was going to go ahead and try one with the skirt but when I looked at them the skirted feeder was made with bigger diameter tubing but it was much thinner. The skirted one was probably 16 ga. and the one I got was 14 ga.

    Hay rings with the skirts at the bottom ?

    Ok it`s time to buy some new hay rings so I`ve been looking at the ones with the skirts at the bottom. Do the skirts really save any hay or is that just something else to rust out. They cost $70 more but they`re also a heavier tubing than the others. Just want to hear from someone that`s had...

    Ancient Tobacco Barn

    A bonfire was probably your best option. Many times the people that would want to tear it down would be the first ones to file a lawsuit if they just happened to get hurt on your property.

    Dwarf Sudan grass for hay ?

    Just thinking about planting dwarf Sudan grass for dry hay. Can you get by cutting it with a disc mower and using a tedder if you cut it at around 30 inches or will we need a conditioner ? Will it make good hay and not have too big of stems so they will eat it good ? Will it keep good outside in...

    Reseeding this fall ?

    I really need to reseed my pastures this fall with a fescue orchard grass mix. I can rent a no till drill from coop so that helps but I have the pasture plenty full of cows now the last time I did this I just had a few out there. Will it be a waste of time and seed since I don`t have a place to...

    4 x 6 or 5 x 5 bales

    Just curious which bale will have more hay if they are both the same density ? I`m thinking there isn`t going to be much difference but what have you experienced ?

    forage radishes in fall pasture

    Thinking about trying some forage radishes on some pasture this fall here in middle TN and was wondering what experience others have had with them. I planned on cutting and baling it this week and then renting a no till drill from coop to seed it with fescue and orchard grass mix but would I be...
