[QUOTE="mdt192, post: 1627320, member: 28762"] Hello all, I have a 12 acre field that is used in the winter and spring as a ryegrass / wheat pasture. I planted it last October, and it came in good. I never had the need or opportunity to graze it this year, so I will try and get it up for dry hay whenever it quits raining. It is black prairie gumbo dirt that takes forever to dry up. On normal years, we graze it heavily, disc first chance we get in April, and plant our dove field of milo, brown top millet, and sunflowers. We have a big hunt the first weekend of dove season and maybe 2 or 3 little hunts after that. My question: Is there a crop that would yield enough fair quality hay and good dove hunting to be worth it? I was specifically thinking of pearl millet? Anyone have experience trying this? Thanks.
