[QUOTE="504RP, post: 1849313, member: 40335"] I haven’t gotten any prices on sprigging. I decided to go with Wrangler because of my location I think it would work best for me. Had a hard time finding seed but finally did. Kind of regretting going with Bermuda grass because of all the maintenance required to try and keep it weed free as possible. Was under the assumption I could for the most part pretreat it in February and March using roundup. Was told by a friend who works for one of the two largest horse hay producers in my area that they sprayed a 6 % solution per acre of roundup up every 28 days after each cutting. Learned latter after I had already bought $ 6,300 of Wrangler seed that my friend lied to me. Both of these big Bermuda grass horse hay producers are spraying with MSMA every 28 days after each cutting. Not only is MSMA not recommended for hay or pasture. It can poison cattle and horses. I won’t and wouldn’t sell hay that I know could harm or kill someone’s live stock. So other than doing a pre and post spray with round up in the Spring and fall after the grass has gone dormant. At this point have a clue how I will keep the weeds out of it. [/QUOTE]
