I am not worried about the toxicity due to lots of rain this year and hay has been sitting for a few months. But can it get established in pasture by feeding hay with some seeds?

We plan to plant one of our hybrid Sudan fields in Johnson grass. With proper management it should be a one time deal instead of having to replant every year. It can also be double cropped with oats as well. Just like crabgrass.
Johnson grass is the most palatable grass for cattle that grows out of the earth. As far as prussic acid it can form in any grass. .
Hey fence, I am thinking about doing the same thing with johnsongrass. It should have the same "prusic acid" issues as sudex...but it comes back every year. How many on here graze johnsongrass? Lastly, fence, where do you plan on getting your seed if I may ask? Thanks!

Your a minority. I cant even mention it because people act like I'm trying to screw them. Then if I say I have Klein, coastal, Tifton they grill me if the jg is in them too. It's not worth even bringing up. They will pay way more for Tifton or klein.... oh well :lol2: ... you can't make them drink

No problem selling it around here as long as you aren't selling to a horse lover buying what they (personally) would eat.
Funny, I was talking hay with a new neighbor the other day, came in with 3 horses. He was ranting on about JG in hay and getting pristine horse hay (for a song as usual). I pointed out that I used to lease the field where his horses are stabled currently and it's full of it. Continuing, they've been eating it since they arrived..........all was quiet!
