[QUOTE="dun, post: 84579, member: 34"] Thanks, that's interesting. It's claimed that bermuda will persist here, but I only know one guy that has gotten it to last more then a couple of years. He doesn;t graze it, strictly hay and it's a pure stand. We have one field that the red clover has almost taken over to the point of crowding out the fescue and OG. Seems the only thing that completes well with it is dock, shepards purse and thistle. Red clover doesn;t appear to be a real consitant seeder, but it hasn;t thinned out here, almost wish it would. When I discussed it with an agronimist he suggested a heavy dose of nitrogen so the grass could get ahead of it. I'm just too cheap for that, cows do well on the stuff, it dilutes the endophyte, persists and grows in the summer when the grasses are peteing out a little because of the heat. We had one field of nothing that we limed and fertilized and planted nothing but ladino. Now after 5 years there isn;t a sign of the ladino left, but this year there's that wild looking white clover coming up all over the place. Who knows, just another of Ol Ma Natures tricks I guess dun [/QUOTE]
