[QUOTE="hillbillycwo, post: 739702, member: 13747"] Yep Dun, Flexibility is something I am still learning. Hard for a 24 year Navy man to flex sometimes. But am getting better at it. LOL. Hard to let go the fescue gains from the Nitrogen. That is why I was looking at the possibility of the fall application of Nitrogen being only in the hay fields this time for stockpiling purposes. I had good pasture until December 15 this year without it but then again no hay was taken off it this year. I bought the farm in October. This fall (August) is when I was thinking the hillside pastures would get a mix of red/ladino clover drilled in weather permitting. I will drill endophyte free fescue in all fields this fall there again weather permitting. I don't have the concerns of warm season grasses as I have none right now. The main establishment issue is dealing with the fescue response to nitrogen. That issue is what chokes out the clover. Next year the pastures would not get the nitrogen as early as this year. I would wait untill after the first round of grazing them then spread the nitrogen. But with Dun's advise of flexibility all could change dramatically depending on weather. :lol: [/QUOTE]
