Hey Moore on Lookout Mountain seeded 5 acres in Ky 31 fescue for seed production and for grazing. The fact that he has harvest- ed from 1,500 to 2,000 lbs. of combine run fescue seed, grazed it 7 to 9 months out of the year and has cut approximately 5 tons of hay from the 5 acres each year would indicate that he has done pretty well with that 5 acres cf land in “grass farming.” In the summer of 1947, Roy prepared a good seed bed on five acres of good land that lime and phosphate had been applied moderately heavy the year be- fore. 500-700 lbs. of 4-8-6 ferti- hzer per acre was narrowed in- to the soil and 10 lbs. per acre Ky 31 fescue seed were sown last week in August, About the 1st of November sheep were turned on the fescue and grazed until the middle of February. In June he harvested 1,500 lbs. of combine run fescue seed and about 2 months later mowed off 5 tons of hay. During the fall of 1948 and spring of 1949, 75 pigs and sows and some cattle grazed the fes¬ cue. All stock were removed 1st cf April and in June last 2,000 lbs. of combine run seed were harvested. 6 tons hay was cut off the field following September. This fall pigs and cattle were put back on the fescue. Roy planted 18 acres of fescue and ladino clover in the fall of 1948 and about 5 acres more last fall making a total of 28 acres, His pastures are fenced into se- veral separate pastures so that he can move his stock from one fescue-clover field to another for better pasture management and seed production. Last fall a soil analysis was made of the soil in the 5 acre fescue field. It had a high or- ganic matter content, but 400 of 4-8-6 fertilizer 300 lbs. of nitrate of soda and 100 lbs. of of petash per acre was which Roy in¬ to apply this spring. things were said about you after you were dead and it was a wonderful experience to receive this token of thanks while he could still appreciate it.
