Switchgrass

Bout had a heart attack today. Was quoted 9 bucks a lb PLS for switchgrass seed. At 6 lbs/acre doesn;t look like I'll be planting any this year

Ouch!!!
Now you know, the reason it's so high is because of the oil price? :lol:

It's kind of funny, all the WSG growers claim they had a poor seed crop this year because of all of the moisture and cooler temps. I checked a couple of stands of our WSG and have a good seed crop. I suppose in a 100 miles there could be that much variation in weather and seed production. But I also didn;t check any switchgrass. Just Big and Little blue and Indian

Turner seed in Breckenridge TX has blackwell for $7.00. They recommend 3 1/2 lb/ac. They also have Alamo but it is $20. They seem like good folks but all I have bought from them was Bermuda.
