I need some opinions on adding some different varieties to my summer grazing plan. At two farms I have about four acres at each one where I feed hay in the winter. By spring this area is virtually destroyed. I am thinking about disking and leveling and planting sudan or millet and making it an extra productive summer grazing paddock. We have grown both sudan and millet for hay but never for grazing. The rest of the farms are your basic fescue and white clover. I figure this would give me a little more rest on my remaining paddocks as I usually don't reclaim the ground in the spring. If this is a good idea would you use the sudan or millet or something totally different and why. Any advice appreciated.
Question 2: Can you no till either of these (millet or sudan) into and existing fescue stand in the early summer with any success? I am in western KY if that matters.
