[QUOTE="NorCalFarms, post: 290919, member: 2465"] I would probably plow it, but we hay all of our irrigated pasture at times so I want it smooth. If it is only to be grazing land and you don't need it super flat or smooth I would graze off all the stubble and then no till grass in to it. Less cost to establish for sure, not plowing it. Temporary electric fence off any parts that don't get a good stand and replant. By planting straight grass you can then spray all the 2,4-D, Dicamba, MCPA etc you want on it to clean it up all while still getting some grazing return off of it. After a year or two (or whenever the weeds seem to be under control) then go in and drill the legumes into it. I would only roundup the place if there is some grass weeds in it that you can't spray out of the desired grasses. [/QUOTE]
