[QUOTE="Douglas, post: 597222, member: 8840"] Anyone grazing cowpeas? With high fertilizer prices, i wonder if cowpeas in rotation with winter annuals might be a good idea. The cowpeas could privide summer grazing with low imputs and help provide some nitrogen for rye and/or ryegrass.Cowpeas were used routinely in the south about 100 years ago as a low cost forage that could tolerate drought. My father remembers planting peas in between corn rows in the 20's. The corn was picked by hand and pea vines ran up the corn stalk and provided fall grazing. They can germinate in a bed of dust and reduce weed problems. I am thinking about experimenting next summer with a small test plot. [/QUOTE]
