I purchased a farm that has a low side to almost every field. There is enough slope in most places but the soil on these low sides is a heavy clay where the alfafa and the improved fescue dies out in a couple years and then it comes back to bluegrass and dandelions. We got 5 3/4" of rain in one shot and now this "bluegrass" is yellow. I am going to re fence this fall and pasture these low sides. I was also thinking about plowing it up and putting it into reed canary, but that will be a 3 year project... The alternative is to feed hay on it after freeze up to avoid compaction and/or inter seed red clover.
