This is a project Ive been working on since buying a 6 acre hay field who ever built it used pine post that have rotted over the last hundred years.The hay field had been planted in corn for ten yrs in a row and I had to re seed but finally have a good stand of grass.I make several hundred square bales a year and sell them to horse people.

Looks like you found a good one. What kind of grass did you seed?

I started out with fescue and clover with oats as a nurse crop

I always heard that the horsepeople really like native warm season grass.

Timothy and such. I too thought clover was usually avoided, especially first cut.

I just advertise it as mixed grass hay people look at it and smell it and keep coming back for more..
