[QUOTE="MrBilly, post: 149777, member: 87"] Yes I planted 17 A of Cheyenne two years ago. The first year I lost one half due to a terrible growth of Johnson grass (not from the seed, but dormant JG seed that was in the soil) that grew to be 6 ft. tall and shaded the bermuda seedlings. Too wet to get into field to keep the JG mowed. Pennington investigated and provided me with about 8 A of new seed for free which I planted this spring. By this year, the Johnson grass had settled down and we had good rain , good germination and good growth. Our second cutting , which was the last, due to too much rain and not being able to get into the field, had a yield of 7.4 round bales per A some of the best we have ever had. I also noted this fall that after the Coastal and the Common had gone dormant the Cheyenne was still green and growing. I am happy with it. Based on my experience, if I were to do this again, I would probably take two years to spray herbicide on the area in order to be sure I had killed all the weeds before going in and planting anything. Use an annual cover crop to retain soil between years. Billy [/QUOTE]
