Hi,
Not sure if i need to tear it up or not? Is this needed? This is out first time doing this so what do we need to do? THe pasture is about a season old but did not turn out well at all, most likely becuase we did not have the proper implements. So what do we need to do and what do we need?

Scottie I posted you some more pix on the other thread for the hay cutter.
Slow down and relax a little before you tear up what you've already done. Before I put alot of time and money into improving the field from last year I would fertilize and aerorate the fields and give them another chance to come along and fill in on their own. Some times we want results from the hay patches too soon. Fertilize it and keep the grass mown down this year and you will find that the grass will come into the fields and push out the weeds and become very thick. Most grasses will get a shock effect when mown down and will really come back quick when ferilized right.
When I don't want to wait for a soil analysis to get back I apply 60-40-30 ratio at 150-175 lbs per acre or ammonium sulphate at 150 lbs per acre for the 1st run of fertilizer each year. This really puts the grasses in overdrive. Some of my friends use liquid nitrogen, but I consistantly have a better protein count and TDN ratio from my hay than they do from theirs.

Burrhead's right, if you have any grass at all, give it a chance to come in by fertilizing and liming.You did a soil test? If you got a lot of ground showing, you can try frost seeding clover and or annual ryegrass to give you something while waiting for the perenial grass

Here on the bushhog thread we had going here while back. I never could get them to attach to the email. I'll go look again to be sure. If we don't find them I'll post again.
Fertilize and patience.

I know what you mean on the taking turns with the youngsters. Naw we don't get ice down here. It's about 45 degrees today and going to about 38 tonight. Feels like Alaska after the 85 and 90 we been having. Hope all's well for yall. Where are you located? I'm east of Houston about 40 miles.

Yea, I forgot , Texas is a big place.The weather folks sure were getting bothered though.I'm a broken down clam digger from eastern L.I.,NY.It's cold here, coldest it's been in 3 years, bays are all froze up, and I gotta keep the horses in because of the ice storm we had made everything a skating rink.I hate it when there in!, almost as much as they do! Supposed to get more ice sunday.
Everything's ok here, thanks for asking, hey, if you ever run out of yuppies, come up and I'll show you where they're made.We got a factory here that churns them out for exporting all over the country, 'course you can only ship them in a Mercedes truck!

Only the female soccer mom ones,they won't drive the kids in anything else.If your still interested, you can pick up a load of females, and drop off the snotty kids at the bratwurst factory.Helps pay off the trip.Just better have a good story for mama when you pull up with a load of size 6's!
