[QUOTE="stocky, post: 263970, member: 1150"] John250, that is true, results can be different in different areas. Here, you can kill out the johnsongrass in one summer if you have the cows in the pasture all summer and do not let it go to seed. The cows would rather have the johnsongrass than any other grass in the field and they will keep it eat into the ground as it comes up. There will only be scattered sprigs the next year. It has to be treated similar to most of the warm season grasses. If you have a good stand of fescue/orchard grass and you have a good stand of johnsongrass, normally you can at least double your hay production with the cutting of fescue and 2-3 cuttings of johnsongrass. If I pasture it, I let the johnsongrass get close to waist high and then turn in on it and the cows never eat it into the ground, treat it like sudan grass. This has been a real bad drought, but people are still cutting johnsongrass in the creek and river bottoms. [/QUOTE]
