[QUOTE="cotton1, post: 1383825, member: 14689"] Post Oak- I'm in the midlands of SC, where the sand meets the clay. Just wondering if you are in sugar sand, loam, clay? I can grow Fescue or Bermuda, but Fescue works best. I am looking at Bahaia for some land I am clearing, like the OP, because of the drought conditions in the summer. I like Fescue when its here, but that is only a few months in the spring and a few in the fall. There has to be something better. Which variety did you like better? Depending on where the folks are in Ga, my results could be similar. I am on the same plane as Athens Ga, just to the east of it. Managing pasture is futile when it wont rain for months at the time, and the temps soar to mid 90s. Grazing to the ground has become the way it is here, so I think the Bahaia may be the best bet. Had a neighbor plow up his pasture and drill in Bahaia for his horses several years ago. He likes it better than the fescue he had. Same situation as Oscarsteve, just wondering which varietys will work better in heavier land.For the record my only experience with Bahaia is been trying to kill it out of Bermuda fields.
