[QUOTE="Banjo, post: 1003821, member: 17304"] Persist was developed by Dr. Bob Congers at the University of Tennessee. If I remember correctly it is a clone from some old varieties that seemed to be doing well and lasting a long time. I like Persist, but like any other grass, if you graze it into the dirt too many times it will diminish rapidly. Cutting hay takes its toll on grass too especially if cut 2 or 3 times a year......the reason being is that most of these disc mowers and discbines scalp the ground, therefore all regrowth has to come from the roots instead of photosynthesis. That is why if you don't fertilize hayfields you'll be lucky to make a roll to the acre after the first year because it has no root system. [/QUOTE]
