[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 855696, member: 12607"] My pastures are all MaxQ and Persist orchardgrass. Good stuff, but I would never, ever make the mistake I made while chasing those 'government dollars' and kill off my KY-31 fescue again. Far better to just keep a good mix of red, white/ladino clovers and lespedeza mixed in there to 'dilute' the effects of the endophyte and select for cattle that work on high-endophyte fescue. But, since I'd followed the NRCS recommendations (they're NOT about farmers - they're all about wildlife) while chasing those EQUIP $$$ - and the orchardgrass/timothy/red clover mix they recommended petered out after 2-3 years, I had to reseed with something that would last on my own dime. Reseeding pasture behind row crops or following a mistake that resulted in total loss of forage sward is the only reason I can think of to go to the expense of planting MaxQ - unless you're gonna be grazing pregnant mares.
