[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 751237, member: 4362"] I think it will last a long time since many of the original test plots are still hayfields. I think the biggest threat is mismanagement and the encroachment of common bermuda into the field. This is just my observation but it appears common bermuda is more cold tolerant and since it forms a heavy mat and will begin growing sooner than the 85 it could eventually take the field. I have some spots of common two of my fields and they keep growing every year. I even hit some of them with a hot dose of roundup but the mat seems to prevent the 85 from pegging down. But once it starts growing its all but smothered. My friend's father is the fella who brought the kweek here. He travelled the world looking for promising grasses. What's really interesting is how they developed it and what all they went through to make it. That article is good. I can vouch for the article's description of 3" per day growth. I've seen this. With rain and fertilizer the grass will be green before you even get the hay out of the field. It amazes me. edit: I hope Tiger gets plenty of rainfall this year. It'd be interesting to see a photo evolution of a hayfield. [/QUOTE]
