[QUOTE="machslammer, post: 1493600, member: 20421"] I tried millet and a new form of Sudan grass last year with Minimal success at all. . Every year prior to that we did greengrazer 5. It did really well! But what we figured out as we cut with a disc mower is the 6 to 8 inch height didn't matter, it grew as much cutting it 3 in as 8.. the other thing was do not tedder it cause you will only have stems left. We would let it lay as cut for 3 to 4 days and then rake on 4th day. Let it lay that day and bale the next. . Pretty dry that way. . Even had some rained on the 3rd day or so and it just discolored it but was fine. . Our baler hates wet stuff and it goes through with finer stems than johnson grass. .. . Had some mold first year when we got it up and threw it down a fence line for waste and our cows went and cleaned it up before they touched the good rolled fescue. . In our area the green grazer 5 better than anything else use and that's planting into exsisting thick fescue [/QUOTE]
