So I've got after several years of chipping away at it. Approx 30 acres of what used to be a cedar break ready.
The last two years I've raised haygrazer and oats on it. Grazed it and plowed in the residue. The clay has gotten a little lighter. The creeks and seeps are running. I think I'm going to pull the trigger on it.
If I do the prep and fertilizer ,and spread and disc in the spriggs myself.
Coastal springs 30.00 per acre in bales
Tifton 70 per acre by the bushel
Hiring a professional with a spigger ,roller etc . Includes sprigs , I still do prep and fertilizer
Coastal 70 per acre
Tifton 120.00 per acre
I'm kinda thinking when you figure hauling and spreading. Plus the right equipment. I crazy not to hire the pro. ??
I'm being told coastal can be done right now as spriggs are dug dormant.
Tifton must wait until April and May.
Which imo rules out Tifton.....does that sound right?
I appreciate any advice
