Got it layed down - Finished w/more pics

Dang Two ropes, sure wish ya'll would git some rain. Had a fella stop wantin to buy hay yesterday. Sorry to hafta tell him, I'm not sellin nothin this year. We don't normally sell any anyway, but after last year..no...we'll stockpile all we can for the next winter.

Hope ya'll git some soon....you too haymaker, I know you could use it as well.
 
Yes Lilly,I can always use a good rain,the down side is erosion,here in the hill country we are always gettin washed out,I have some contractors working me up a price to black top about a mile of road for me,if the dont try to rob me I think I will have it done,Im sure tired of road work.......................good luck............later :wink:
 
Lilly: Are you going to fertelize that field now that the rye grass is off so that the costal will grow? If so, what blend and how much?

Beautiful hay, Jersey Lilly. I don't think our hay is ever that green.

Is that coastal hay? Our friend from Texas mentioned how good the coastal hay was. I don't think I have ever seen any.

If it isn't coastal is it Bermuda grass?

Costal is a type of bermuda grass. If cut in the spring or fall when the weather is cool and humidity is low it will be bright green. With a little N and some rain you can cut it every 40 days. Great stuff with huge yealds.
 
Nope, no more fertilizer until next fall. We tried the commercial fertilizer last summer after the first cuttin, I know it was because of lack of rain, but our second cuttin was only 1 bale per acre. With the yeilds we get doin it this way,(normal rainfall) I can't see why change, might increase yeilds some, but at what cost? Fertilizer aint cheap these days and the chicken litter seems to be doin a good job for us.
 
Put it on the last of October first of November, normally that's when we start gettin rain. 400 lbs per acre. Mr Lilly has an uncle that has two chicken houses, and then a business of spreadin the litter for all the other houses in the area too. Most times he just gives us the litter, but we'll pay for slingin it, he has a couple employee's that drive his litter trucks, and he hasta pay them.
 
Around here we use two ton per acre or 4000 pounds. We have to add N after a few months though. with rain the N won't last long.
