[QUOTE="BDS05, post: 4836137, member: 9093"] Research has all but slowed but I'm about to start digging deep. Holidays and Strep Throat have consumed all my time the last few days. The 100 acres belongs to my father. The joint 400 acres belongs to my 2 cousins. That land has only 10 acres or so that are grazed on. None of the 100 I'm now interested in working are not grazed. All fields on this 500 acres are baled for 2nd cousins cattle. Myself or my father don't have a tractor so letting him cut hay benefits him and us (though ours isn't much). I have access to BORROW tractors and implements but we all but refuse to do that. I feel like I may as well steal their wives. It just doesn't feel right. That's why I don't want a full blown food plot. What I don't have a problem with is borrowing equipment to benefit both wildlife for me and cattle for them so long as I dont need it every year to work the same ground. I understand my fight against Johnson grass will be a long and tedious battle, but I'm ready. I've honestly not looked into burning as I've always assumed resources needed are more than I have. I'm not looking for the prettiest field, but instead one that is beneficial and at a manageable point. I was tempted in discing all fields and mixing a couple grasses and some clover to benefit both parties but am having a hard time finding a grass to benefit both. I assume I can contact the UT Beef and AG Center for this? Without that, I'm torn between drilling or frost seeding clover. They had plans on renting a drill this spring apparently and welcomed me to use it. Nonetheless, I have a pile of trees and shrubs to compile through and prioritize. The list keeps growing... I'm wanting to pick someone's brain on planting stuff for pollinators if someone can point me in the right direction? I've ran across Gobbler sawtooth which had a key point of turkey forage... any other ideas for turkey, rabbit, hopeful quail, etc... that have worked for you? I am as of now going with basal. Still awaiting guidance from my area forester... Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
