[QUOTE="ValleyView, post: 1598785, member: 38499"] Not to derail the OP’s topic but I understand trampling, etc to be a concern leading to loss of the crop. I am drilling a small amount of graze out wheat pasture today for supplemental grazing this winter. Seed is $12.50 for 50# bag and drill rental is $10 per acre. At 100# seeding rate, that’s the cost (less fuel and time) of a lower quality round bale in these parts. Depending on the success of the stand, I plan on utilizing this wheat every other or every third day to reduce the amount of cubes fed for a portion of the winter. May also strip graze it instead. For supplemental grazing wheat, a grazing day is considered 5hrs to eliminate crop loss from cows trampling/laying and manure. I have selected a portion of pasture to drill near my entrance that has been overgrazed and becomes nearly bare in the winter so the additional standing residue is an added kicker for my operation in that regard as well.
