[QUOTE="Fire Sweep Ranch, post: 946111, member: 18809"] Location location! But seriously, down here in SW MO we are having a severe drought. Got our first good rain since May (2.24 inches!) last night in that storm. We went to the Barry County drought tour earlier this week, and they gave all kinds of options. But annual rye seemed to be the most popular option. They said that rye can take over a pasture pretty quick, so don't plant it if you harvest fescue seed or any other grain. We planted some Marshall last fall, got some of it to take (drought last year also, just not as bad). It grew quick and the cows liked it. We will see if it returns with this rain. I will say one of the things they promoted was to put down Nitrogen NOW if you have a stand still. The cool weather we have been having has started our pastures greening up just a little. We did not graze the fields we cut for hay because the lack of rain we knew it would be too short. So, we went ahead and put down 60 pounds/acre about an hour before the storm hit last night! I just hope it did not wash away!!! I will report in a few weeks to see if it helped! I hope to get a jump on fall forage growth - we have been feeding hay since early July!!! [/QUOTE]
