Thank you for that!

I remember when Don Higgins came out with his Switchgrass blend. It was years ago & I used to talk to him when I went to Illinois once a year. He's in open farmland & his use of that changed his property into what it is 2day. Don stays out of it & the property rewards him. I'm going to try adding the brassica Domain blends here in MN in August. I have a nice Turnip seed but u need different brassica to create more options. The Sexy blend sounds about right & it's already been proven in the north which is a big ➕️.

I definitely want a stand of perennial switchgrass but I wasn’t able to control the weeds again this year either. I’m using Incognito again this year and I’m excited about it. I’m on the fence for what I’m going to plant for plots this year though.

@@lifeonthehilltn I'm going with the Big Sexy. I have another area the same size that I sprayed 1 area & mowed another part. I'm going to try a very similar product to Big Sexy that is put out by Big Tine. I'm not sure if that area will be as controlled as i would like it like the other area that is proven. However if that area looks good I have a comparison to it.

I had good fortune with the “deadly dozen” by RWWP last season and it was pretty affordable as well. I’ll decide here in the coming days and just go with it. Anxious to hear about the plot that you didn’t spray, but only mowed.

@@lifeonthehilltn I have a discount option with both Domain & Big Tine. Otherwise with all things being equal I would probably use a MN company Frigid Forage @ twice the cost. So I'm just doing the easy route. ➕️ I have no shipping costs. That weedy & mowed area after an upcoming week of dry weather in the 90's will be hit hard with my secret weapon. My propane brush burner! It will be a no till planting after that & I'll just run my chain link drag across it @ the end. It sure will be interesting come September. 🙂

@@lifeonthehilltn I will have an update in 6 weeks. The Big Tine was a no-go cuz 1/3 the bag is inert coating. I bought double the Domain so it will be a good test comparing the mowed no-till area to the other area with no weeds & live wheat growing in it.

Try the Northwoods Whitetails Food Plot Screen HD. Much better product. It will stand well into spring. Go 12-14 feet wide. For switchgrass, RC Bigrock is a great choice.

I will have to look into that! Is it a perennial or an annual product?

Hey brother, how long does it take to fully mature? Wondering if planting in June would be good enough for season start in Oct.

I would base that answer mostly on where you are located in the states. I live in Northeast TN, and I planted mine in early-mid June and it more than served it's purpose for the entire hunting season. My switchgrass failed again this year, so I'm going to go back with my trusty Incognito once again this year!

Hey James, I planed mine a bit later this year and I'm pretty pleased with it's growth already. Just wanted to check back in to see if you had decided to plant this product or not!

@@lifeonthehilltn we didn't this year. Our lease is a timber tract and we put in new plots where we could, but couldn't get the tractor to do the discing until 1st of August. Now that the soil is soft, I can manage it with the small atv disc I have. Can't wait to try it out. Appreciate the follow up
