I've never messed with planting hay.

I have, on occasion, leased the grazing rights but that's pretty tricky. I have found that I am the only one who cares about the long term well being of my land. Most cattle owners will overstock and move on when the native grasses are over grazed. I've posted here about the predator/prey relationship that can occur if you're not careful. Like the Godfather said, "It's just business.".

I do know guys who have their coastal bermuda pastures baled on a 50/50 split basis. I would want to be there when the bale count was made. Obviously, on larger pastures, there is more interest than on small places.

I've not been fortunate enough to find anybody like Bruce has.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
