Hi I say keep fertilizeing, add lime also. Ive done that in years past, and Ive increased my hay crop from 90 -100 round bales (4x5) to 250 round bales (4x5) 0n the same acreage. If you want more production reseed also, I used to do that process once every 3yrs. I set my 10ft transport disc to just cut the the topsoil aprox. 2-3" deep then fertilize , lime (pellet), reseed.I just put on what I could afford. Everybody says test your soil, but I dont put much faith in that,you can send the same soil sample in to test as many time as you want and you never get the same results twice. Ive seen it happen more then once????? I use my own thoughts , useualy triple 19 and pellet lime, I reseed with the grass i like etc..... I buy appro 6-8 ton fert. 4-6 ton lime , and spread myself, spreading where I want it most. I have 1 60acre ridge top some steepness. so I do it. I also have 30acre flat ground i do the same too, (different figures) on matreial. You have to spend $$$$$$ to make $$$$$$$ . This will increase your hay crop! been there and done that . rigth now the guy farming my property doesnt believe in fert. lime etc says too much $$$$$$ hasent done anything for several yrs. Now complains there is no hay crop like in yrs past. Wonder Y ? I told him he was done I was cutting the hay from now on, Im starting over again rebuilding the soil. You wont go wrong spending the $$$$$ if you can afford it. GOOD LUCK

Today's Featured Article - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
