[QUOTE="Mark Reynolds, post: 1806557, member: 43196"] I see that you are at least aware of the potential for prusic acid toxicity, but do be very careful, and don't take it for granted. As you can see by the other posts here, it can be and has been quite successful and provides a good stockpiled forage. Realize that one or two light frosts will cause prusic acid toxicity potential and you will have to wait several days after the frost before the standing forage is safe to graze, but also realize that until it is completely killed by a hard frost, each subsequent light frost is going to create an accumulation of prusic acid and grazing cannot take place until this has dissipated after EVERY event until the grass is completely dead. Don't let this scare you away from using it as it can be a great forage, but also be careful and don't 'make a mistake'. [/QUOTE]
