[QUOTE="Andrew, post: 250991, member: 918"] Arnold, Thank you very much for the reply. Its a lot of good information and I think I will go with the shredding of the sunflowers and discing the 100 ac to see if I can get something to grow in the meatime until it gets time to seed some cool season grazing. The other 80 ac are another matter. 40 is in native pasture that's pretty much eaten up because I had the cows there since March until a week ago. The remaining 40 ac I have in Tifton-85 that was sprigged at the end of April. The USDA doesn't want me to graze it for a whole year so until April 2007. It growing very nicely but it was a lot more expensive than anticipated. The USDA man gave me a prepared plan with 2 year old prices which grossly differed from the actual prices. I am fairly close to Corsicana on FM 22. Didn't get any of rain for about 3 weeks. I really like the idea of trying to get some Johnson grass. I'm going to try that and see what happens. I just hope we get some rain soon. Around my area there is mostly crops like cottom, sorghum and corn but not for Winter grazing. I haven't seen anyone for anything for Winter grazing. Just about everyone feeds hay. I want to stay away for hay. I did it the first year in the cattle business and that was the last (3 years ago). Following you advice, I think I will get creative and divide the 100 ac up into 2 sections: one with Oats and one with Rye grass. I'm still learning so I really appreciate the advice. Thanks, Andrew [/QUOTE]
