[QUOTE="cypressfarms, post: 166315, member: 2653"] Back to the topic: This year (well last actually) I planted a tetraploid ryegrass, similar to prine, to see what all the fuss was about. Originally in October the plan was to use the great growth of the tetraploid for my heifers, and get a couple of hay cuttings in the spring. Then no rain. The rains came, and next weekend I will get to put the heifers in. All in all I planted about 18 acres. Cost ~$400, but I seeded more than the recommeded lbs/acre. Fertilizer after I got a good stand, ammonia nitrate, was ~$400 as well, put 125 lbs/ acre. Now I'm wonderning if I should stick to the original plan of getting some hay from it, since fertilizer prices are so high, and the rains came so late. [/QUOTE]
