Just got back from a wonderful visit with some friends in East Texas. They just moved there and purchased a home on 20 acres. So, I was able to talk to some of the ranchers nearby about forage and haying. I told them here in sandy Florida, the easiest forage is Bahia, and they told me the locals in E.Texas call Bahia a dirty word. Yet, I noticed Bahia grows on the roadside. Most of their pastures look like Bermuda. Anyway, we got distracted and never finished the conversation about forage. Now I have a question. Why do more people prefer Bermuda over Bahia in E. Texas? Bermuda grass seed is far more expensive, so I would think Bahia would be preferred based on cost. Of course, I do not know the nutritional side of Bermuda grass either since I can't grow that easily in my neck of the woods.
