[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1807267, member: 40587"] Gosh .I have no idea, Otha. We don't irrigate here in north Ga like they do in south Ga. And it would depend on how they fertilize and lime, too. My main horse-quality field I fertilize and lime to specs after each cutting. I keep it as weed free as I xan. I easily get 4 cuttings a year, and often 5 if the timing of the rains hots right. How many tons I get would be a guess. I square bale it, 70-80 lb bales. This last cutting there were no gaps between the bales as they came out, This field is about 8 acres. I got right at 1000 bales this time, so that is about 70,000 lbs, so about 35 tons? That is a good question, though. There are some people I know around Macon that irrigates bermuda, and I will ask them how they do with it.
