My folks have a place that has been in cotton for awhile (leased.) we've always talked about converting to pasture but never get around to it.
curious what y'all would consider implementing in this situation. This is southern Eastland county, TX. Very deep sand, mostly fine sandy loam soils. The natural answer seems to be sprigging Bermuda, but wanting to see what else we should consider. Place is about 120 acres of tillable land.
we've also talked about seeding back to native prairie and hand picking grasses that do better in the sand. I'm not a huge fan of grazing Bermuda which would be the principal use, always chasing fertility especially around here. Either scenario is difficult to pencil out but nevertheless curious what y'all think and if we are overlooking something?
