My neighbors and I have them and never have had a problem, maybe :lol: our grass is just toooo tempting.

I am like the rest of you, have heard how bad they can be. However I have them in the fall and early winter pastures and have never had a problem with them. We ran sheep here for years when I was a kid and we never lost one to them. I've been back home for 25 years and no problems.

I am wondering if Falcata grown on irrigated meadows retains its drought resistance and other dry land traits? What would be the difference between the two varieties?

I always read your posts, hope everything but the corn and too much moisture, meets with your approval there at home. I've had alot of very cold weather earlier, but now its fairly nice. I need to be feeding corn, but I'm too old to shovel it off, and too cheap to buy a corn feeder. So I make...

Mine is 1 amp and yes the lo impedence seeks something to ground to, as in animal, man, grass etc. Be sure and get a tester to check the current level in line without touching it yourself :mad:

In times when our moisture is limited, I grow oats first year, cut and bale. Second year I plant 5 # of alfalf seed and 3# of grass seed into the standing dead oat stalks. Provides the packed ground, and a little shade for the new crop.

On the grounding rods, it would depend on what type of fastner one used. Use a brass fastner for copper and non cooper wire. Lo Impedence ele fencer. Wow what a kick, much more effective and traditional fencer.

could one get it started by dropping the seed from an airplane, or does it need to be covered? Thanks for your experience.

I've heard that one can seed that alfalfa by mixing it with say mineral and it is spread by cattle as they travel around, thru their manure. Anyone use this method?

I use a small handful or just enough to cover my palm when cupped, for a 12-1400 gal tire tank. Bluestone is probably just a larger piece of this blue crystal mineral that we used to use as a horse wormer. It kills water bugs also.
