Kentucky
well ................................. I'm sure someone would have liked it, but we are all row crops, no livestock. It was growing on a farm I bought -- 60 acres in the middle of a 240 acre field. It also wasn't exactly coastal, but a relative with higher protein. I've forgotten the actual type it was. It was sprigged by the previous owner and you are right about it making loads of hay. Two applications of RUP would have probably taken it out, but the drought made it harder to kill. With the dry soil and heavy root mass I couldn't get the planter in the ground that July to plant beans. Our common bermuda is easier to kill than this stuff. Everywhere they had set a roll of hay for the cattle, it "sprigged" it into the pasture starting a patch in the field. I left a strip of it where I needed a road through the field -- makes a great road.
