[QUOTE="Texas PaPaw, post: 219024, member: 2905"] kid The best advice that I didn't follow was "plant nothing but fence posts for the first 3 years". Basically what this means is learn to manage what you have before spending money on some wondergrass. What you have growing now is what is adapted to your land. Until you learn to best manage what you have and learn where the shortfalls in grass growth occur, investing in grass seed, tillage, seeding etc will probably be an expensive exercise in futility. IMO-setting up a good rotational grazing system should be the first priority. This will allow you to get the most productivity from what grass you currently have. In 3 years you will have a better idea where the true weaknesses in your forage system are and then you can start to address them. Efficiently growing & grazing forages is a life-long learning process. Remember, Rome wasn't built in a day. Just my 2 cents worth. Good luck & happy trails. Brock [/QUOTE]
