[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 545661, member: 3162"] Doc you confuse me with this paragraph. Some breeds just don't cut it in this climate. Some breeds thrive. Some of the thriving breeds have bad apples that have to be culled. A person could spend his whole life experimenting. Some summers are not as harsh as others nor are the winters; something that worked out last year may not do as well this year - or it could be better. I prefer to bet on sure things. When something isn't broke, there is no need to try to fix it. When something works year after year for you, stick with it. Therre is no harm in keeping your eyes peeled for something better. On the experience thing, when you have tried several varieties of clover and wheat on your pastures, you come to recognize what does well on which farm or in which field. You also know what works in any of your fields. Experience may have indeed made me biased. I am not scared to try a new clover or other cover variety small scale to see how it does, but I am not about to throw out the baby with the bath water just because a salesman thinks he has developed the perfect breed in some other climate.
