They're running and gunning again. Which is good, half the dang town works for that place. Hurt when it was closed for a while.Texasmark":3ve6u88y said:5S Cattle":3ve6u88y said:$120/acre in brenham i believe

True Grit Farms":20sx1v2m said:$155.00 an acre here to have someone sprig a field in Russell bermuda.
Yes it is, but I'm not willing to spend that kind of money till I have a way to water. Last time the same guy charged me $90.00 an acre to sprig the same field and it didn't rain for over 10 weeks. Everything just cost so much in the cattle business for such meager returns. I feel like a fool working to just break even, it's a good lifestyle but at some point you need to draw a line.M-5":775yxkrm said:True Grit Farms":775yxkrm said:$155.00 an acre here to have someone sprig a field in Russell bermuda.
Your not gonna be satisfied until you get it just right . Spend the money and fix it . I assume its the field across the road from your driveway.
This is how I planted 20 acres of coastal. I want to say I paid 1200 for a 20 yard dump trailer full of sprigs.Old Hat":3fech5k4 said:I have done my own with good success but it's lots of work. Spray to kill the existing weeds etc., disk the heck out of it, drag it nice and smooth. I had a neighbor who gave me Jiggs and Tifton tops when he cut his field. I drove thru the field and spread those tops by hand really thick then adjusted my disk blades straight and ran thru it. Then packed it with a roller.It helps to keep the sprigs/tops wet as you're planting. So far I've done about 12 acres with good results. Oh and pray for rain just as you finish rolling it!!!
