Wazuans, where can i find cheap hay in bulk of about 500 bails for dairy farming. I understand it is cheap now before the dry season hits back in this sector.

@SG thanx for the contact.

@QW25091985 .... You must be joking

@maka could be having contact, i know rhode grass is really good.

@mawinder thanx for your info, but 200@ per bail is just too expensive for a serious dairy farmer.

Just bought some Desmodium seeds, Anyone one who has planted Desmodium green leaf before, Am looking for guidelines on how to get maximum yield. I intend to interplant it with nappier Grass using Tumbukiza Mtd(TM). should it be inside the TM pits or over the pits spacing.

was also wondering if we have the native names for Desmodium ? Boma Rhodes, Lucerne etc...atleast I know nappier grass is 'Thara' in my dialect.
....He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion..
