[QUOTE="ny_grass, post: 541946, member: 8237"] Update: oops, I guess I should read all the posts in a thread before responding; others commented on how growth in the North has been slow because of the colder temps ... I'm shocked at the variation, nationwide, in grass growth. gertguy has waist high grass and clover! I'm in my first year up here in upstate NY and I'd been told by everyone that "we can really grow grass up here!" yet my hay fields only have about 10" of grass (plus some plantain, clover, etc...). Of course, I'm sure they haven't been fertilized in years (the prior owner got a couple hundred dollars tax break each year by letting a farmer hay it). My pastures are doing much better but even there I've rotated my 6 cow, 5 calf herd through about 20 1/4 acre paddocks and I'm not quite ready to go back into the first. Of course, they say it's been a pretty cold spring... Endlessly interesting ... [/QUOTE]
