White clover is one of the most dependable, easy to grow food source's we can plant and it's easy to establish. Small odd shaped areas such as corners, remote hard to get to places and the perimeter of our food plot's are all great place's to establish clover. White clover will grow...

Sweet! We will be expecting a harvest picture from that plot this fall! :)

. We have done spots the size of a garden (pictures in this thread) making three 8' strips (size of equipment ) and it worked great for many years. I placed a cam there and learned a lot about what they ate /preferred at different time's.

It's length of day so just it's not green, Oust /SFM75 will be more effective if CSG is still green and not a threat to switchgrass seedlings if applied at least 3 months before germination ;)

The first planting won't need anything and should be good to go. The second area probably is fine but you can apply SFM75 when it's dormant. The area you are preparing I would spray glyphosate and SFM75 asap while grass is growing and able to absorb the herbicides into the root system.

We were in the same boat last year, hopefully the dry plots will get rain soon

Thanks for posting John, are the clumps millet? I may have misunderstood but don't spray Oust unless switch is dormant or to prepare for dormant seeding this winter. Do not apply to green growing switchgrass. Looks like your stratification test worked out :)

Andy sent me pictures from his farm in PA and another in Ohio, he is planting the "Dbltree rotation" both place's. The PA farm has been receiving plenty of rain and the crops look great. ][/url] ][/url] The Ohio farm however has received little if any this past summer and fall and the soil...

October 3rd, 2014 Fred sent me an update on his new switchgrass seeding and folks for a 1st year seeding this is as good as it gets! Note firebreak Fred started last summer /fall by mowing the CSG (cool season grass), allowing it to regrow then spraying early fall. He used 2 quarts...

We had the same problems, last year drought this year flooding rain's! We planted later then ever but the plus side is seed germinated almost immediately and grew quickly. BJ you can frost seed clover as Skip does or we plant oats and and annual clovers (berseem and crimson )as a interim crop...

Remember it's important to us white clover and the rye /cereal grain mix in each plot to keep deer from decimating brassicas. You also need to rotate brassicas (and all crops ) to prevent disease and pest problems. Whitetails don't care, they are opportunistic and will take advantage of the food...

Usually November and later they hit the roots.

October 1st, 2014 Jess planted these brassicas the end of July on a farm where we have been using brassica /rye mix crop rotation four years now. The ground is nothing to write home about but since growing these crops, the soil produces outstanding yields. With white clover around the...

That they did, thanks for posting! :)

Thanks guy's you both have grown outstanding brassicas! Thanks so much for posting fellas :)

Fire! Burning native prairie grass is the best way to keep stands healthy and thick. Timing is important however so burn April 15th to May 15th for best result's

Peas sometimes survive so keep us posted, also put up some exclusion cages to monitor grazing pressure.

If you can get a trail cam up it will be fun to monitor usage, and give us a look at NC and habitat. Thanks for sharing and please keep us posted :)

Well done looking forward to more pictures

There should be plenty of N left, more likely suffered loss's from heavy rain leaching it then brassicas using it. The color of rye is normal so no worries :)
