[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1222332, member: 12607"] Annual ryegrass will germinate quickly - but even a spring planting will bolt and try to set seed, then die, as soon as it gets hot here. We're talking...it'll be gone before the first of June, more than likely. You're likely gonna need a summer annual - bin-run corn disked in, sudan-sudex, pearl millet, etc. Or, let them plant corn again and grow your herd a little slower. I've no-tilled fescue/orchardgrass/clover into corn stubble after harvest, with no significant problems. Since you're starting with a 'blank slate'... absolutely plant a 'novel endophyte' tall fescue + a good orchardgrass(Persist has been the best-accepted OG I've ever planted) and a mix of ladino and red clover. I'm still not convinced that it makes sense to kill off an established stand of 'dirty' KY-31 to replace with something else, but on clean corn/bean ground...definitely go with a 'novel endophyte'...NOT endophyte free, as those won't stand up to any degree of overgrazing or drought conditions.
