Stands stay productive year after I first planted Texas Tough + Bermudagrass for grazing and baling. I now have over 200 acres in production. It has remained free of disease and the yields have remained consistent. Texas Tough + establishes fast with excellent forage quality and fine stems. I am very pleased with my Texas Tough +, it has increased my grazing time from 90 days on native pasture to 150 days. Denny Chaney – Bertram, TX. Thank you for celebrating our 50 th annual sale. year. I first planted Texas Tough + Bermudagrass in the Spring of 2009 for grazing and baling. My Texas Tough + has been free of disease with no loss of stands. My yields have remained consistent with no loss in production even through our drought of the last four years. It establishes fast with excellent forage quality and much finer stems than Coastal Bermudagrass. It has increased my grazing time from 90 days on native grasses to 150 days on my Texas Tough stands. I plan on planting more in 2015. Denny Chaney- Bertram, TX Denny Chaney- Bertram, TX I planted 210 acres of Texas Tough + Bermuda, and started grazing in 45 days. It has been in our rotational grazing and has held up under our Florida conditions very well. We hope to plant more in the future when the right land is available.
