[QUOTE="M-5, post: 1261063, member: 23550"] WE call it a seed orchard cause that's what it is. the big trees are long leaf and small trees are slash they harvest the cones and plant the seeds to mass produce seedlings. We grazed the original orchard 30 years ago. It has taken me several years to get them to allow me to cut hay off it. they would mow it once per year. I convinced them the man hours and diesel savings would be beneficial. Its primarily Bahia. This cutting is a little rank. The trees are checked 30' I cut north and south this time and will cut east and west next time. I can get a round and a thru between rows. We are late getting it cut because we needed a 3 to 4 day window to get it dry because of the shaded areas. [/QUOTE]
