[QUOTE="agmantoo, post: 765727, member: 8973"] BILL CLAYLAND My primary stockpile winter forage is endophyte infected tall fescue. To back that fescue up and to get the earliest new grass forage possible following winter I overseed about 15% of the pastures with the Marshall ryegrass. Any thin stands of fescue are overseeded also with fescue seed that I harvested. In years like this one, I have to clip the pastures to prevent the clovers from choking out the fescue. Timing is important because I have to clip before the fescue goes to seed and the clover has not reached full height because if the fescue goes to seed it will cease growing and clover will stress what remains of the fescue. By clipping at the tops of the leaves of the fescue it will often start to grow again and usually this regrowth is better feed than the initial growth plus the action extends the growing period. I have a lot of lush fescue even now with the hot temperatures we are experiencing. [/QUOTE]
