This weed seems to be semi-vine like, but when the taller grasses outgrow it, it trys to keep up, there is some in there but not like it used to be. I've always wondered if you let the grasses go to seed, like the orchard and or brome, will it help in increase the concentration of the grass. I know the orchard grass is a clump grass and seems to grow well here.

Our place here is connected to several hundred acres, over 500, that was part of a large dairy operation for years, some of the fields on the other end were planted not that long ago, for an owner with horses, and it looked great. Lately, although June '04 was last time anyone had a good dry period to get hay in before it was past it's prime, the rain is too frequent, it's really difficult to get it off the field, I saw a few nice fields taken last year and gotten in before it rained, but the window of oppurtunity was not very big, so you can only cut so much.

Cornell has a nice website, with some description of some of these grasses. I'm in Rennselaer county, just outside of Troy, where suburbia wants all this acreage now, a lot has been bought for development. I love it when the big JD's clog up the road, to do the tillage and plant some of the fields on the other side, good to see those quads from the last big dairy operation around here still making a presence.
