Yep....I do ~70 acre's a year. Mostly for hay but a little for grazing.
Chisel and disc like we're real farmers. Conventional 7" seed drill 85 pounds per acre. This year seed was 820.00 a ton. Browns in lampasas.
We use a 30-10-0 blend and like to put 250 per acre. That gives a pound of nitrogen per day for 75 day grow. Seems to be ideal.
Yield... depends on rain. Last year we got a unbelievable 9-10 4x5 rolls on first cut and around half that on second. The first cut was late and overgrown due to waiting on it to quit raining.
This year there will be some that will just get grazed as it won't make. The best looking field I'm guessing 4 bales.
That looks fantastic. What would you estimate your cost per ton once in bale form.Here is a crop planted May15th, planted @100 pounds per acre. My yield average if cut every 45 days is around 2 tons per acre, per cutting, 2 1/2 to 3 cuttings per year, 200 pound of 46-0-0 per plant and 100lbs of 46-0-0 after we get the hay out of the field. Fence is more knowledgeable about fertalizer than I.
