WW-B Dahl

[Earl Thigpen]

I just Googled up the subject grass and found it is a Bluestem variety. I've sent an E-mail off to Pogue to see if it is anything like Gordo Bluestem. If it is I don't think it will do well on my land - not enough black dirt. I have about 20 acres on the edge of some really heavy black land - some call it gumbo, and it really does well with the Gordo.

I did find something called "Later Grazer" and I have asked for information on that stuff. I'll keep you posted on what they tell me.

From what I understand it prefers a sandy lome but will grow well on most soils. Not recomended for grainy sand.
What impressed me the most is the low input of fert., 60lbs. N per acre, and still put out 12,000 lbs. to the acre.
It is late matureing, so I don,t know how that would effect planting of winter grazeing.
If I can get my field plowed in time I may plant some. My present hay field just flooded with the heavy rain this past week. Dahl does not like it's feet wet so I am a little afraid to plant it there.

Haygrazer $34.00 per 100

Thanks for the feedback, Nova. $34.00/100 is still pretty darn high but better than what I was quoted.

I know about the late crop on the Bluestem. Sometimes scares me to death that I'm not goin' to get a cuttin' off the Gordo but come the last part of September it really turns on and usually makes a good part of my hay crop even though it's only about 20 acres.

By the way Angus/Brangus, I'm the one with beach sand, not Nova. I've seen the land around Brenham and it's pretty good stuff. I guess I would classify my land as loam. It's not really that sandy.

Angus is just pulling my chain. I have one small pasture where I take calves after they have been weaned. Very sandy I could grow watermelons there. These pics I posted are why.
