Doc, your elbon rye has really taken off good, I know the cows are loving that forage. Looks like you got a good spread on the new seeds.......hopefully you'll get a rain soon!, after the cows trample the seed into the soil
I've been looking into Tifton 9 and TifQuick as well. They are sure proud of it lol. But I have few areas where I think the Bahia would do better and be less maintenance than Bermudagrass.
That’s my thoughts. With fertilizer so high, it’s hard to justify taking care of Bermuda grass in order to keep a good stand. Hopefully with regenerative practices, it won’t be needed. The thing I like about Bahia is that it survives and flourishes in poorly fertile soils. It greens up sooner and stays green longer than any other grasses in our part of the world. It’s a good hardy forage.
@@cliffhonnasregenerativerancher That's what I have found as well. I have some of the Pensacola variety - it's the first to green up and last to go dormant. And tends to grow in the most sandy and poor areas that I have. It'll be interesting to see how these varieties do for you in a regenerative operation. Thanks for posting it.
Mr. Honnas, may I ask your setting number on your spreader, pto, and speed while spreading? Looks like you did an excellent job. My last attempt was way too light, after resetting, way too heavy ending up with a mess!
Very interesting video, Cliff. Is Tifton 9 Bahia the dominant grass you have on your land that grows best? I’m just curious if there was any consideration into other types of grass-Kentucky 31 tall fescue or other? Dave
This all looks REEEAAAALLLLY interesting, but you know what would even more interesting..... if your middle name was Anthony! 😂 Hope you're doing well professor.
Excelente trabajo. Estaremos pendientes a su evolución. Saludos...
Hope all is well down your way!
Very good start on your pasture. Look forward to see what it will look like in 90 days. Blessings🙂
It’s looking sparse at present. Maybe it’s not been hot enough. Time will tell.
cliff looks like you were having to much fun to call it work looks great take care chuck
If you love what you do, it’s not work!

Ranching always depends on the weather! Rain is all we need now!
Boy that some sandy soil you got they, your pasture looking good maybe you folks get some rain this year.
We are doing good so far! Feel very blessed at this point! Have a great week!
Excited to see how this turns out
Stay tuned 😃

We are walking in the same shoes lately.
@@HeritageFarmsTexas Great minds, great minds... 😂
Olá 👋🏽
Envia para o Brasil ?

I set the spreader on 5 and ran at 6 mph. About half way through, I went to setting 6 cause seed not going down fast enough!

We have Pensacola Bahia, Tifton 85 Bermuda, Jiggs Bermuda, coastal Bermuda. Fescue won’t grow this far south so it wasn’t a consideration.

Hahahahahaha
I have the same spreader and that chart on the side is a joke. First time I use it I put 200 lb of brome grass on about two and a half acres
You are right!!
Will the Elbon rye grow back for next winter and the Bahia grass be for summer grazing
