[QUOTE="edrsimms, post: 693224, member: 10970"] I read these posts and I have to wonder what most of you people are thnking about on a yearly basis. Of course the economics of that situation does not look too good, but you have to look beyond your backdoor for a solution to your problems sometimes. For instance out in the Northwest the largest grass producers in North America are in Oregon and Washington State. A decade agao the granola munching misfits in that area made it impossible for these grass seed producers to burn their fields off, so now (and for the past decade) they have been having to bale this grass and dump it in a big hole-- 10,000's of bales. What a great source of hay if you have NONE. So you buy this hay, for little of nothing and you buy a haymaster injection system (which will pay for itself in ONE season) and you inject these grass bales to improve your Crude Protein---- simple. This Protein injection costs $1.50 per ton to treat your hay--- it's cheaper than dirt. Just look beyond your backdoor and the solution to all your troubles is there waiting for discovery.
