Got about 40 qcres that hasn't been cut in a couple of years. Got sage grassm briars, cow itch galore, weeds, and bunches of johnson grass. Underneath all of this is a good ammount of fescue and bermuda in spots. There is a few small m(thumb size) persimmons about.In spots, there is a lot of fescue.

I am bush hogging it all now and thinking of how to re-establish a good stand of grass for doing hay. I really don't want to plow and disk it all but had rather think about herbicide and maybe a no-till drill.

Any suggestions or comments about best way to go about?

I know lime is needed.

I was thinking about fertilizer with 2,4D in the spring?

Is fescue hay is desirable in your area? just bushhogging and fertilizer would give it a big boost. Might broadcast a clover also. Soil test is a good investment. This would elimanate the expense of plowing. Sid

Jerry,
You are a couple of states out of my area of practice but a few general comments:

1. Get baseline soil tests pulled now. 2. Make initial decisions on what you plan to use the hay for. Eg Feed yourself to cows, horses, sheep, or sales to dairy, beef, horse, or sheep.
3. Look at soil test results and market for hay and determine what species you want. Then decide on chemicals, lime, and fertilizer.

Email me direct if you want more.
