Summer Legumes for pasture improvement and cattle feed

It will be nice to see how all the different seeds germinate and grow

[@stringerbridgefarm3201]

Yea, some of these are new to me. In fact, none of my farming friends in the area have ever tried sorghum Sudan grass. I’m torn if I will fertilize or see how it does naturally.

Talk to your county extension. Often times, your county will have a no-till drill to loan.

[@stringerbridgefarm3201]

I’ve talked to them a few times and our parish extension does not have one. Our area is dominated by sugarcane farming. Very little grain or livestock so it doesn’t seem like a priority for our extension office.

Watch the sorghum sudan on droughts because of prussic acid. I love the stuff. It produces a ton!!
For the last 2 years we've had better success with black oil sunflowers than with hybrids.

Thanks for the info. Do you know about how many days to the first grazing on sunflower and sudex?

[@haleyfarmz]

@@stringerbridgefarm3201 sudanx graze when it's over 18 inches but do not graze below 8 inches

You may be able to rent a no till drill at your local AG office.

[@stringerbridgefarm3201]

I checked the ag office, they don’t have one. The co-op has a regular drill and a broadcast spreader they rent out. No no-till that I can find locally. It’s not surprising though because most of the what is grown here is sugarcane.
