[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 645817, member: 4362"] I have a small pasture that I use to feed hay in. Over the years it has become not so pretty with bull holes, rotten hay and bare spots. Last spring I decide to fix the field by burning it off then harrowing the ground smooth. My thoughts were that there would be enough bahia seed remaining to reseed the pasture and I'd plant a nurse crop of millet to provide some grazing. Unfortunately we had a severe drought and the bahia didn't seed in as well as I had hoped and I ended up with a ratty stand. I thought this was a complete failure until this fall and winter when I found the pasture was covered in native ryegrass. The amount of forage this ryegrass created was amazing and whenever we had moisture hay consumption dropped to half what it would normally be. I found this interesting and makes me rethink exactly what is an improved pasture. Just thought it interesting. [/QUOTE]
