[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1157908, member: 18945"] Herofan, have you had a soil analysis done on that pasture? No hay fields here--too many stumps still around from clearing it in 2008-2009. I haven't hooked up a mower in 2 years--not since I started a chemical program--I spray now. Even with the high cost of herbicide, it's much cheaper for "me" to pull a sprayer than it is to pull a mower. However, your results may be different. Not everyone lives where I do, or has the invasives and weed species I do. Fertilize--yes, but probably not as much as I should. I need to lime all of the pastures to improve pH, but still haven't yet. On my "to do" list. Reseed? Not really, bahia does a good job of that on it's own but I have seeded some native pastures with better grasses, (Tifton9) and broadcasting winter ryegrass is a must, in order to reduce my dependence on hay. (I have no forages that will stockpile really well, but wish I did--Bahia simply will not--first frost, it's gone) [/QUOTE]
