Most fields overwintered well, but some look banged up from our harsh winter. In particular, fields that went into winter with greater than 10 inches, and those planted late (mid-Oct. or later). Most of these fields will grow out of this winter Injury. We recommend that you give injured fields a little time before you plow them up. The quality of forage produced from these ryegrasses is worth being patient. Managsmsnt Tips: • Fertility: 50 units of nitrogen during green up (now) and after each cutting or every other grazing. • Cutting: Cut when 20 inches high. Multiple cuttings are encouraged to get the most high quality feed, especially if you are running low in stored forages. • Crop Rotation: Kill off by moldboard plowing or 1.5 X rate of glyphosate (Roundup). Follow with BMR sorghum sudangrass if short on stored forage. Can follow with corn silage, forage sorghum, or soybeans.
