[QUOTE="blackcowz, post: 704336, member: 8834"] Although I'm a "rancher" by definition because I have a hat, spurs, and ride a pony to gather cattle, I still do a fair amount of tractor driving and land management. Around here, we are really making progress on taking weed infested and grassless land and turning it around into a solid, dry weather tough, grass mix. However, small grains like wheat, oats, and rye all thrive here as well. So my question is, how do you use these crops? Do you graze them, simply plant into their stubble, use them as a nurse crop, or maybe a cover crop? I thought about using wheat to help shelter our tender grass mix that I planted beginning of September. Would letting the wheat grow out provide a good protection for the grass in its first year, or would it choke it out? Just trying to think of some new ideas, and I would love to hear what works for you. Of course, I can just get the drill in gear and test it myself. :lol2: [/QUOTE]
