Hayfield

[lawdawg21]

I have access to 10 +/- acres currently grown up in weeds and Johnson grass. I want to plant hay maybe Bermuda what would be the best way to kill current and plant new grass. Thanks in advance.

What part of country is the field

Burn it then spray with glyphosate(round up) after a week or 2 if there was much regrowth before spraying, burn it again. Then notill in the grass of your choice

If you want hay I would keep the Johnson grass and just kill the weeds.

I would spray it with 2-4D to kill the weeds then till it up and plant what ever grass you want to. The Johnson grass will come back next year with the grass you planted.

A hayfield is like a woman it has to have lot's of love and attention or it will up and leave you.
You say you have access ? Lease? Neighbor? How long is the access?
A real hayfield doesn't happen ovenight.

It is family land in st francisville, Louisiana. Sandy clay dirt. I would like jiggs Bermuda hay but still thinking on prices

If it's NHEL-- I'd put a burn down on it== the mold board plow it...

If it's not a HEL ground- the first year of changing ownership, and the fact it's coming from a 'hay' field-- will allow you to do the same thing...
