[QUOTE="Texasmark, post: 1622162, member: 27848"] Hay grazer is a good producer for a high volume annual. Late maturing varieties are best as you get more of a stand with smaller stems with more product before it goes into the "boot" stage and starts switching over to the mature growth pattern, seeding stage. Ground has to be an average of 65F for germination and it can weather low moisture and high summer temps if you get the moisture in the ground in the spring. Not for horses and the bag usually states that. Cows love it and do well and never heard about other animals having a problem with it. 50# per acre is what I plant and cost runs between $30 and 65 depending on which brand you use and who's selling. This year I went with Gotcha Plus, Brown Mid Rib which is a deluxe product and will plant at about 30# per acre due to it's better characteristics, and I paid $61 at the local feed store after they ordered it for me from MBS seed in Denton, Tx. Since 2014, the Sugar Cane Aphid has been the only pest or problem around here with haygrazers and on my farm and they hit me around the 4th of July every year since. Using a late maturing plant, I can get 2 cuttings worth of quality product in one cutting before then if I can get the seed in the ground around April 1-15. You can spray the aphids but I don't like to spray since I had cancer and it was cured in 2013, been clear ever since and don't want to do anything to encourage it's return. Not that any of that would happen, just choose to not do it! You may not have the Aphid problem up there. [/QUOTE]
