[QUOTE="BC, post: 109371, member: 67"] First thing you need to do is find out what ryegrass varieties perform well in your area. In East Texas we use annual ryegrass instead of perennial ryegrass because of survivability (too hot in summer). Perennial ryegrass is grown in more temperate climates that do not have the extremes that we do. The annual ryegrass will have to be planted every year. Scratch the surface with a disk. You can just turn the blades straight, but you need to get some soil contact with the seed. Where I live, it is sandy enough that we can use a grain drill right into the sod if the grass is short enough, otherwise we need to disk to set the grass back and get the seed to soil. If you lightly disk, throw the seed out and drag the field with a cattle panel or something. I have seen producers just throw the seed on top of the ground as Bigbull mentioned. You normally do not get any grazing so to speak until late February or first of March this way. [/QUOTE]
