[QUOTE="GMN, post: 674056, member: 2382"] We have a neighbor who grows it, and sprays it, another person we know has 3 fields of it, and doesn't spray it, just cuts it every 35 days i think. He has orchardgrass mixed in, and when he use to milk, he said his cows just loved it. Got multiple cuttings a season, and every year it grew back, and he fertilized it heavy. We got a 20-25 acre field we thought of doing something different in. Its bottom land, and I thought it would be a good field to plant alfalfa in. Only thing is that the field now has fescue, orchard, lezpedeza and clover in it, would have to till and disc it all up, and start over, whereas if we went with just reliming the field, and no tilled straight orchardgrass in, we wouldn't have to mess with all that extra work. I know people say its cheaper to buy alfalfa, but its not for us, would be nice to have a field that a person could get several cuttings off of, with the feed quality dairy cows needed. GMN [/QUOTE]
