[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 660218, member: 4362"] I agree with Steve. Keep in mind that all this stuff is a regional thing and some of our recommendations may be correct for our areas and not for yours. There are a lot of differences in region just like the soil test stuff. Not saying anyone is right or wrong. You just have to find what works for you. I have some bahia grass pastures with clover in them. I do not take anything off of them. Soil test shows that I have the proper balance of elements in these pastures so I don't put anything on them and haven't for years. When fertilizer was cheaper, I used to fertilize these fields regularly and cut any excess growth for hay. Never was too impressed with the hay nor the yield and I found that I had to replenish the nutrients I harvested if I was to keep the soil well balanced. It didn't take me long to figure out that it was cheaper for me not fertilize the pastures and only graze them and make them eat any excess. To me, the main thing is to get your ph and the P & K right. If you do this, and get water, the rest is easy. [/QUOTE]
