Looking to renovate some pastures this year with Bermuda varities. The past 2 year drought has hit the Coastal stands hard in our area (mostly clay based black land). Pasture lossses of 60% or more. Tifton85 is very hard to get established in this soil also. Both of those are sprigged and hence expensive. Not sure I want to take that risk in this drought cycle.

My hay guy said he hayed some Sungrazer last year that looked great in July. It is also a seeded varity and so cheaper to plant.

Does anyone have any experiance, with this stuff in this area (east of Dallas TX) on clay based soils? Here's a link to it

I haven't got an actual quote yet but someone told me its about $100/50lb bag which isn't bad at all (if true). I'm sure you noticed that Sungrazer is just a mix of 3 different types of Bermuda (i.e KF194, CD90160, and Giant). Here is a link to a paper with forage productivity test results from Georgia and Texas
