I have read several IFAS papers, although the ones I read are geared towards horses, I think the vast majority applies. I was kinda surprised that they were to some degree playing Bahia down, as pretty low quality forage from a nutrient side, but also mentioned it's the used on the vast majority of pasture in N Fla. They seemed to push perennial peanut for grazing as well as hay, but that's too rich for my blood. I never knew perennial peanut got tall enough to hay?
But to sum up the paper I read, treat all weeds, multiple times, get samples, and start amending several months before planting bahia. Basically, get the field right 1st, as many of you mentioned.
I did learn Sudan-sorgrum is toxic to pregnant horses, which I never knew.
