[QUOTE="jlhall, post: 784114, member: 14692"] What are you wanting from your pasture? Persistance or performance? Shorter lived grasses offer more performance at a trade off to persistance. University of Tennessee has been doing some good work on varietal testing for forages [url=http://forages.tennessee.edu/Page11-%20Variety%20Trials.html]http://forages.tennessee.edu/Page11-%20 ... rials.html[/url] University of Kentucky also conducts excellent trials. Buy improved genetics, if the salesperson can't give you and indication of expected performance go elsewhere. A .50 ton/acre yield advantage is a lot of money in the bank. Don't walk away from a variety because of price if it offers the performance to justify it. If you just want something that is green and persists buy KY31 or whatever tall fescue is the cheapest.
