[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1152178, member: 18945"] Lots of perennial grasses become kinda dormant if allowed to go to seed. They have, after all, fulfilled nature's primary goal--reproduction. They get stemmy and tough. On a new bahia pasture, I'll let it go to seed once/year for the first 2 years to build a seed bank, but after that, I either keep it grazed down or clip the top of it if it gets too tall. (I don't hay here) I do try t let annual ryegrass make seed heads in springtime--some of it will come back from seed even tho it is an annual. The other downside to letting forage go to seed is that any weeds also go to seed if you aren't spraying. [/QUOTE]
