Big Muddy rancher
Well-known member
I am about at my wits end haying this year. Most of our hayland has been seeded down for a while and Crested Wheat has dominated the fields. On some other land we have alfalfa still showing up pretty good but Foxtail has taken over.
I was wondering since this is tough country to get good stands established if i would be better to drag the crested fields to smooth them out and fertilizer rather then spend money on trying to re-establish Alfalfa just to have it die out in a few years?
The land with the foxtail is more saline land in the Big Muddy bottom that can produce if conditions are right but is more likely to burn up and bake hard.
Any ideas?
