[QUOTE="bird dog, post: 1816481, member: 5381"] BC, No it is not hay fields. The previous owner sprigged the Tifton in two fields to make a hay I believe but he passed away and his boys had it of three or four years and did nothing to the place. Than it was abandoned completely for 18 months or so. The whole place was in bad shape when I bought it and most of it still is. Herbicide got the weeds under control but the grasses are still poor. The 3 awn has really come on this year with the wet spring we had that followed the drought from last year. I'm sure you are right on soil depletion. A soil test will show zero nitrogen, almost zero phosphorus, and to much potassium. When I fertilize, the three awn just gets stronger. Burning is not a option in this area. I unroll 140 or so rolls a year but that doesn't go that far on 400 acres. The tifton seems to green up late was the reason I thought I might spray a low dosage of roundup at the first sign of spring. Our local NRCS is worthless. You ask them for a solution, all they can tell you is the cause for which I am perfectly aware of. [/QUOTE]
