[QUOTE="gthag, post: 553619, member: 2293"] I recently bought ~80 acres in Stephenville, TX area. It's mostly coastal bermuda and had been a productive hay place for 20+ years. An "interim" owner, who I bought the place from last month, was sloppy with the grass for the past 2 years. He had 2 cuttings last year and fertilized once he says. This year, the place has not been sprayed or fertilized. It's pretty "wooly" with grown up coastal and some weeds. My plan with the place is to clean it up and grow horse and dairy hay. The dilemna I have now is what to do this year. The "hay" if cut now is not worth much of anything and there is a glut of hay from last year around here. It's also dry as a bone and I doubt there's another cutting of hay to be had this year. One option is to lease for cattle and let them clean it up, but I'm afraid it would not be too attractive for someone to lease <10 months. I'd appreciate any thoughts you'd have. [/QUOTE]
