[QUOTE="Bluestem, post: 575819, member: 3269"] Jogeephus- You are on the track that most will need to follow. I hope no one goes off next year and tries "no fertilizer". It will be a failure, guaranteed. The hay ground I was talking about is native prairie. Quality? I don't know. Some of his best customers are horse people from Florida. They buy the hay by the trucks. Remember I said "properly functioning soil". A prairie is composed of up to 40% legumes, plus forbs, then grass. All the soil life is intact and functioning properly. New knowledge coming to light every day about the soil we walk on. Still very little is known. We know bits and pieces. The key will be tying these pieces together. The most fertile soils in the world were our prairies. Generally could farm them about 20 years before they played out. Before someone says "a hay field full of weeds". The first plants to be overgrazed are the legumes and forbs. Our cows know something we don't. [/QUOTE]
