[QUOTE="Douglas, post: 628638, member: 8840"] ^ You are right Jogeephus that weather conditions can foul up the best laid plans. In my case the cold weather we had here in Nov. eliminated much of my fall grazing of rye and I had to buy more hay than otherwise. The year before drought was a problem. In my case, I figure the ryegrass component pretty much covers the cost in the March-May time period so even if the fall/winter part does not work out the spring part at lease covers my cost. This ensures I can hay my fescue fields. Spring ryegrass is pretty reliable here and most years I get a cutting of hay as well. Rye only i think is very costly and less reliable. This year I added a small test plot of oats planted in early August. Was surprised at the heat tolerance and low cost production. I might have had $40 per acre and stockpiled till December. [/QUOTE]
