[QUOTE="Balin' Wire, post: 1272223, member: 16709"] I can only tell you what worked for me last year: Shred it down to very short and disc it to as deep as you can pull an off-set in the hottest part of the year (that would be right now). Make sure you can see the roots. Let it set for two weeks and disc the crud out of it again to kill whats left of the root systems. Sit for two more weeks and pull a chain harrow over it to smooth. Plant what you want and pray for rain. I had a neighbor broadcast t-85 tops and rolled it the same day. It took three days of spreading. Wait 'till strong growth and apply 2-4D Amine to kill the broad leaf. It made 3-1/2, 5x6 bales / acre this summer. PS: It took all 95 horses of the Kubota 9540 in 4-wheel drive and weight in the bucket to pull that 9' off-set. My opinion is that you can't get a decent kill on Bahai unless you catch it tender and 2" tall. Round Up or Cimneron(sp) did not touch it when it was 4+ inches tall. Chet [/QUOTE]
