@ ua-cam.com/video/W-WyuxYK3Sw/v-deo.html Check this video out, Colt harvested 5,600 lbs of Big Bluestem Hay per acre with no fertilizer, in a moderate drought year.
Thanks for the video! How does rolling hay on native pastures affect the native plants? I’m referring what Greg Judy does feeding hay in the winter time. Thanks!
We'd be most concerned with the potential weed seeds in the hay. Other than that, the same logic would apply that you'd use on a fescue field. Don't roll it when it's muddy or you'll do a lot of damage.
This is going to depend on the native warm season grass species that you plant and when you cut and your cutting height. Some people choose to take one cutting, while others will cut twice in a year. The important thing is to make sure the plant can adequately recover so that you don't lose production potential for subsequent years.
Not anything right but I have been watching your videos and very interested in what to cut cost in hay production don't know much about native grasses but would like to know more have cattle and horses
@@zarashep we grow wheat and Marshall eyeglass and crimson clover in the fall and summer annuals in the summer just to make enough hay it very expensive
What kind is it
We believe the NWSG he is referencing is Big Bluestem (OZ-70 ecotype).
Thanks I'm very interested
I'm looking for hay production
And tonnage

@@HamiltonNativeOutpost thanks!
any hints for weed control while encouraging native grasses?
How many times a year can you cut it? Thanks

What native grasses are you haying?
I believe this particular cutting was OZ-70 Big Bluestem.
