[QUOTE="cypressfarms, post: 627660, member: 2653"] gberry, are you saying that if I tilled, I would get better stands? If that is in fact what your saying, I don't agree - but hey that's one man's opinion This particular paddock was cut for hay last year, so right after the last cutting, I planted the ryegrass - and luckily got rain immediately after. I don't prepare seedbeds, I just broadcast the seed out with a fertilizer buggy. Normally I'll bush hog the paddock pretty low before I plant to give the ryegrass good ground to work into. If I were planting anything else besides ryegrass, though, I'd have to prepare the soil. That's why I plant ryegrass ;-) Once the ryegrass reaches about 3 or 4 inches high, I come in and hit it with fertilizer - this past time I put 150 pounds of urea per acre. This is the second time the cows have been let into to graze this particular stand of ryegrass. I let let them graze for a few days until the grass is around 3" or so, and then pull the cows off of it - to not stunt the ryegrass. I have three different paddocks of ryegrass and I move the cows around to utilize these. I ran short of hay again this year, but atleast the ryegrass is doing well. [/QUOTE]
