[QUOTE="callmefence, post: 1499900, member: 24947"] It'll grow anywhere corn will grow. I plant it at 50 pounds per acre for grazing and 100 pounds for hay. It'd great feed and growth can be unbelievable. You can get very high protein and sugar content If done right. If you don't cut it to short you can be cutting again in a month. It's blown millet away in my experience. It does need nitrogen to perform well. I generally put around 100 pounds at planting. Another 50 with each cutting. Only the initial 100 for grazing. I plant a inch deep. With your rainfall 1/2 inch is probably good. No need to plant until 60 to 65 degree soil temps. If grazing educate yourself on prussic acid. It's no big deal. You just need to understand it. Sidenote.. I know nothing of the grass you are trying to establish in this field. But hybrid Sudan will easily hit 6' tall. Ive seen strips left bare ( skip a swath with the drill. ) And seed your delicate grass seeds. The Sudan will keep the wind off the soil causing it to stay moist a little more. Can get you ahead on getting your permanent pasture established. [/QUOTE]
