Yep, Southwest calls it Bermuda grass - here we call it Wire Grass. If you ever plow any of it, your plow will ‘sing’ like an overly stretched wire. Hard as Heck to kill.

We never used to have any till during a drought in the 50’s and we brought in some western hay for the livestock to survive. They said it was prime Bermuda Grass. Hate it!

Yes, and they have to burn the bermuda grass fields, after a few years, the matted grass is impossible to maintain.

Mary and Jay raised it, for the seed and hay on their farm at Wellton.

They say we did not have it and then we did, it is written that it came to America in the belly of an imported cow.
