[QUOTE="Ebenezer, post: 1543449, member: 24565"] Seeding rate is lacking legumes for what I want. Rates look minimal but OK. Winter or summer: drought will set your limits. The inconsistent quality of hay is more of a problem than the costs around here. Some plants, like timothy, work as annuals here. You'll get diversity (mixed species) whether you plant them or not. It is a plus. And you're better off to select your diversity by planting than to get it merely by having pastures for years. Each region has micro-regions where particular forages will or will not work. No book or distant guru can tell you all that you need to know. Usefulness of forage species are tied to management, soil fertility, applications of lime and other products, stocking rates, soil health and expected animal performance or animal type. Want to learn: find the best grazier closest to you and most like you and see what he is doing. Forages mean nothing without specific management techniques. [/QUOTE]
