Best to watch Russ at 1.5x or 1.75x playback speed.

[@williamjohnson2315]

Awesome video, really enjoy how you point out different plants and you sharing your successes and failers in trying new plant species. Love the drone shots, please video the herd out in the fields.

[@RussWilson]

We will be having lots of drone footage. It is really neat flying over the fields can see the good and bad in each field.

[@kathymeley9553]

I really like how practical you make your videos, including information on materials and cost. I think you made more that $110.00 given that grass is better for grazing cows than hay.

[@RussWilson]

Thank You!!

[@farmerrod3159]

Russ thanks for sharing your info. I envy your pastures. I am trying to get my pastures to look like yours. I am in 2nd year of paddock/rotational grazing. I moved in with my pops ( he is 84 years young) and was old conventional let the cows chew it down to dirt level then move the cattle. He has let me do the better rotational grazing. I put up more permanent fencing to divide the larger pastures to add more paddocks. I have started overseeing the pastures to get better quality feed. I need to expand with some cover crop. My goal is to have my cattle in pasture longer through the year. Thanks so much for your educational videos and suggestions. Farmer rod

[@RussWilson]

Hey Farmer Rod Glad you are rotational grazing your livestock they will do so much better and your pastures will become more productive. Thanks for watching!

[@tim7409]

Thanks for sharing with us Russ. Any success interseeding perennial grasses & clovers in the fall , into permanent pasture?

[@RussWilson]

Yes, absolutely fall maybe the best time to interseed. Thanks For Watching!!

Hi Russ! Are those the fields that run along your driveway? What are your opinions about using brassicas such as Kale or radishes?

[@RussWilson]

Those are the fields along my driveway. Radish do well here on the farm. We have raised 18 pound radishes before. Kale, Rape and Collards don't do well for me I suspect it is because we low in phosphorus. Thanks for watching!!!

I've been playing around with using annuals here in south central Pa, to help fill in during the summer slump & rest our perrenial pastures longer and try to minimize our hay making. Been using mostly sorghum sudan to graze our 30 head beef herd on. I've planted by just discing lightly to set the perenials back and by no till drilling after the herd. This year I am adding a mix of winter rye/barley & oats over 20 acres (planting now). My theory is the oats should be grazable before winter kill and we should be able to graze earlier in the spring along with adding fertility/ biomass to these pore pastures. I've planted 6 acre with light discing and am thinking about no tilling the rest behind the herd now. What are your thoughts on mowing after germination to help the annuals? I will drill back in green grazier next June, but am looking for recomendations for other species to add in? Thanks for sharing you knowledge with us. Justin

[@RussWilson]

Great question! Instead of mowing I'd recommend grazing short and go back in 10 days later and graze short then plant your annuals. Your right the oats should be grazable around frost only troubles with oats they don't like competition. Species to add to your mix sunflowers, cowpeas, gourds, forage sorghum, and milo I've had good success with all those. Thaks for watching!!

looks delicious. how old is the sward? and when will you graze it? Will you graze it twice or once? Tks

[@RussWilson]

Thanks GW!! The sward is 60 days in the video. I'm going to use it for stockpile. Probably graze late december. Thanks for watching!!

[@marvinbaier3627]

I tried to do the same thing this year but we were in a drought. The forage sorghum grew pretty well compared to the rest of the stuff. We are just starting out so trial and error. I planted what I had on hand. I used an old JD corn planter just to see what happens. Next time I’m going to use a no till drill or a no till corn planter. Since you are very experienced with cover crops, I have 20 acres that been corn soybean rotation for years. What would you plant? I’m hoping to plant this fall cereal rye, triticale, winter wheat, hairy vetch, and winter camelina in part of it. It is in corn now so waiting for it to be harvest. If it gets to late, then the only thing I can plant is cereal rye. If I could only plant rye, would you inter-seed anything else in the spring. Eventually I would like to put this in rotation of pasture/hay field. Hay 20-25%on 4-5 year rotation. I would only take first crop hay. Then, the rest would be pasture or cover crops. I don’t have enough animals yet for the 20 acres yet and need to make water points too. All your videos are very helpful. I’m so glad Greg Judy had you on his channel.

[@RussWilson]

For winter cover crops I like winter rye, winter peas, hairy vetch, radishes, annual ryegrass, and turnips. If it gets late in the planting don't be afraid to plant plant hairy vetch, and winter peas with the winter rye. I wouldn't inter seed anything in the spring. After grazing or making the hay on the winter annuals. I'd go to a summer time annual. Thanks for Watching!!
