[QUOTE="phillse, post: 479817, member: 5684"] Jogeephus has got it right. We have done what he said For winter grazing, We plant ryegrass under our pine trees (granted they are nearing mautrity and are not real close together just too close together for summer grasses to grow but the ryegrass does great) The key is to remove undergrowth via backburning, bushhog and eventually have it to where it can be srayed with 2-4D in summer to kill new saplings. The added benifit is that by planting and fertilizing the ryegrass the trees have less competition with other shrubs and trees and get a little residual fert. so they grow faster. There are so interesting results being gotten with "Silvo-Pasture". I would like to convert our entire place to it but have not convinced Dad yet. Plus since I don't live at home anymore, about all I am able to do is take care of the AI work plan the matings, keep up with the paper work for registrations, and help vacinate, deworm etc. Dad does the day to day stuff. I just go down and help out when possible. Here is a link that might be of use on silvopasture [url]http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/FR145[/url] [/QUOTE]
