Re: RC: World Feeder Bermuda Hay

["Jerry Fruth" <hikryrdg@evansville.net>]

Amber, About 15 years ago I came upon some Blue Gass that came from Turkey.
It had a very deep root system, and withstood drought very  well.  If we
had no rain, and I remember on summer where the grass would crunch
underfoot, this stuff would bounce right back after a little rain.  It had
a very fine blade and was impossible to bale.  Jerrry
