Rye, oats, radish, red clover. 1/2" would be Max depth it was planted. There is definitely evidence of all seed germinating but just not much growth. Far less germ where the carpet of wispy grass is. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Trying to figure why we had poor germination and growth. Lick Creek fall mix was drilled around 9/1, got a couple light rains the week after then 1" on 9/9. Plot was sprayed late July so some of the grasses greened back up at the time of plantting. Gly was sprayed right after planting...

I think they will be toast after yesterday's rain. Another 2" yesterday on top of 2.5" the 22nd and 23rd. I mud bogged a couple hundred pounds on yesterday hoping it wouldn't rain again so I wasted money on that. I hunted last night in a blind and watched a lake form in my brassicas before...

Is it worth spreading urea this late in the game? Looks like rain and I'm at my farm Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Paul called for 50 lbs rye/50 lbs oats/50 lbs winter peas/5 lbs radish/and red clover if broadcasted. Should any adjustments be made on the rye, oats, and peas if no tilled in?

I posted this on another habitat forum and it was suggested that spraying to kill the competition may well release the WSG that was planted in 2014. Sounds like a great plan to try first. I thought I could mow it in March then start spraying as things green up. I looked but wasn't able...

Thank Sligh, I took notes of your kill cocktail. Plan to mow it labor day then spray at the end of October to prep. I have got everything buy atrazine in my inventory, hopefully the simazine will suffice.

Very nice and I like the canal idea to tie the ponds together.

Looking for some strategy input on planting switch to encourage bedding within my CRP. The open areas in the picture were planted to WSG's (switch, big and little blue) back in 2014. Unfortunately, it didn't seem to take and there is little evidence of WSG's at this time. Plenty of other...

I've been researching them and talked to one of RTP's distributors who was quite knowledgeable. They sell them of course but he doesn't work for RTP which gives me a bit more confidence than a factory guy shilling.. They have some nice features like the calibration tray and you can mix all...

I worked with my private land biologist on getting it set up in MO. We sold that farm so we didn't end up doing the project.

Missouri offers cost share for this type of project allowing the hiring of a skid loader to pile them up for a good weinie roasting bonfire. Maybe Iowa has a program?

Thanks guys, worth experimenting if I end up with a drill. However, I won't be getting a big drill so soil conditions will make all the difference.

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? I guess I'll have to experiment and report back......if I buy a drill.

I"m trying to justify a no till drill for smallish acreage of plots. I've heard of guys having success drilling radishes into clover that has been mowed super short or set back a bit with Gly. Has anyone had success drilling into pasture that has been hayed or mowed real short but not...

Thanks, good to hear it has worked for you Daver, especially considering how dry your area has been. Good feedback.

Great info Sligh. I'm trying to justify why I need to spend big money on a drill and I'm doing a pretty good job of it so far!! HA! Grant Woods claims he doesn't need as much or any fertizlizer with after a few years of his Buffalo System. Do you find the same type of improvents in your...

I agree, but damn are they spendy and I have a small tractor and limited acreage that I plant. That said, I'm trying to justify the cost as I type. Lot of money for these deers, LOL.

I was asking more about the effect on the soil between the two. Lots of talk about how working the soil is detrimental to it's health. Anyone having success with throw and mow in Southern IA/Norther MO? I like the concept but it's so damn dry down there it would likely be a recipe for failure.
