[QUOTE="fargus, post: 767163, member: 13480"] We seeded 25 acres this spring with BFT and Reed Canarygrass. It was one of the "new" endophyte-free varieties, Barolex I think it was called. On top of that we seeded it under a nurse crop of barley.... so we have done almost everything wrong. We're going to see what it's like, we've always seeded it in a mix here, but there hasn't been any planted on purpose in 20ish years. Whatever else is here has shown up on its own. The best forage grass we have here is still the much-reviled twitch grass. (Known as quackgrass to the rest of the english-speaking world.) Can't kill it, fills in bare spots, and holds its feed value extremely well. The grazing experts up here say it doesn't yield very well.... when managed well it's as good as anything. [/QUOTE]
