I am having a hard time trying to pull out this grass that looks similar to " hay " which is growing around the roots of my shrubs. Does anyone have any gardening or weeding tips or tricks that they could share with me.
wet the ground…. wear gloves and pull hard!….

I just bought some hay from a regular source, paid premium price, and my horses would not eat it. Turns out the hay was bad quality – I wish I had known what to look for and looked at it more closely. There was alot of large straw pieces in it. Should quality hay look more like grass and have a greenish color to it?
I am referring to T & A.
Whenever I buy hay, I want to make sure it has been stored properly, not left outside. You want to make sure there is no mold, or weeds such as thistle, or other sticky such plants that grow wild. If it is greenish in color, chances are it has alfalfa in it. A lot of people feed alfalfa, but it is very rich, and you should be careful when feeding alfalfa. I feed my horses either orchard, or timothy hay, and buy it from a reputable source. Your better hay should look like very good dried grass with not a lot of other growth in it. Hope this helps.
Okay, I am searching the merits of double cropping forages in North Dakota. I can produce millet hay at $80 dollars a ton. What is the cost of hay in the surrounding states?
Prime Alfalfa: small square bales range in price from $112 to $210 with an average of $142 per ton.
Large round bales average $103 per ton
Grade 1 Alfalfa small square bales average $83/ton
large round bales $74/ton
You say that you are producing millet hay at $80/ton. If you mean that is what it costs you to produce it, you're going to have a very tight profit margin, almost the break even point. If you mean that you are producing and selling for $80/ton. I'd think you should do very well. Personally, I would buy grade 1 alfalfa at $83 over millet hay at $80 if I could get it. Good luck with your business.
I have a grassy area which I would like plant hay in for some goats and/or miniature horses. Is this feasible? How does one go about planting and harvesting? Thank you!
If you have enough property, it would be cheaper in the long run to talk to local farmers, and do the share cropping thing. Believe me, by the time you buy all the equipment, you will be in the hole for 10 years or so. Or just use the property for grazing your own live stock. Hope this helps!
Some people use straw for bedding, so why not hay? Won't the horse eat both?
When grasses are left to continue growing, stalks form over the blades. Straw is made from stalks….good hay is cut before the stalks form. Horses will eat both, but prefer the blades, and they are more nutritious.
When farmers plant for straw, they don't use the same grasses typically grown for hay.
ADD…grass hay is different from legume hay. Alphalfa and clover are legumes, and some hays are a mixture of grasses and legumes, and some are just grasses like Timothy, rye grass, fescues, bermuda grass, and others. The stalks left when wheat and oats are harvested can be sold as straw.

I live in WV and we haven't had much rain and the grass is in bad shape. We have had to start feeding hay early. Well now it seems that everyone is trying to get hay and everyone is jacking up the price due to demand. We have 12 horses we need to feed through the winter. We are at the point now of maybe having to shut down our business (we own a boarding stable) because of the hay situation. Can anyone tell me if there is something else we can feed if we can't get hay. If so what is it. I am so scared. Or does anyone know where we can buy about 40 or so big round bales for a decent price. (we live in Shady Spring WV) ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!!!!!!!
Alfalfa cubes and pellets.
You can ask about a packers feed too, its a complete feed that people use when packing out with their animals.
Good luck, been that route before and I have sympathy for you.
