[QUOTE="Dave, post: 653639, member: 498"] Yes I have some of that. Pugging is always an issue because this ground can have standing water 12 months out of the year although it is generally dry on the surface from mid June to mid September. there is about 4 inches of top soil and then It goes to blue clay that the water just sits on top of. They gave up cutting hay there years ago because it was too wet. For me the rent is cheap because no one wanted it. I don't worry about the pugging and just shut my eyes graze it. When I cross fenced it I made sure there was a patch of dry ground in each field so the cows have a dry place to go lay down. But some times it is like grazing water buffalo. It puggs up and can be the pits to even walk across at times. If I can get the cows across it early enough it makes real good feed. But it has continued to grow grass and I have been using it for 5 years now. I haven't noticed an increase or decrease in the amount of grass it produces. [/QUOTE]
