[QUOTE="nap, post: 944326, member: 8447"] Johnson grass is about the only thing growing in our pastures during this extended drought. Knowing there is a toxicity issue we decided to have it tested by the state lab here in Arkansas. For testing we collected 8 samples randomly. To our dismay, each sample tested over 100 ppm prussic acid which is a highly toxic level. In fact, after the results were reported the state pathologist called us to get more information. She informed us that these were the highest levels they had tested in quite some time. Fortunately, I have Johnson grass free areas that I can use for very limited grazing. Which means, of course, that I am forced to feed more hay and supplement. Have any of you had experience with this? How long will the grass retain its toxicity? Have any of you actually lost animals? I am anxious to hear your opinions and stories. nap [/QUOTE]
