I am getting ready to try my first rye plot by overseeding some soybeans here in a week or two. I am really excited and am trying to plan time afield. My question is: I have an over-the-shoulder hand spreader that holds about 20lbs. Ballpark - How long is it going to take me to spread 5oo lbs...

Can you overseed/broadcast oats or do they have to be tilled in?

Actually my soybeans will probably be harvested in late October. That was why I had concern about a November food source. Sorry for the confusion. Thanks.

I have another question. I am planning to overseed rye into standing soybeans this September. Do you think that this will be enough of an attractant for a November food source? I have noticed that you plant combos with your rye (oats, AWP, etc). I don't really know if I have other options...

I had a question about cereal grain combos. If I planted cereal rye and white clover this fall(overseeded into standing soybeans), would that establish a nice clover plot for the next few years? Any disadvantages to this combo. I have limited use of equipment, so I was thinking of a way to...

I was thinking about overseeding my soybeans with rye and turnips. Anyone have any experience with this? Would it be better to do them together or separate plots? Seeding rates? Best time frame? Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the reply. I guess my question is: If you have an established alfalfa field, can you overseed it in early September with a cereal rye. If so, is it beneficial or is the alfalfa alone enough of a late November/ early December draw?

Could you/would you overseed alfalfa in the fall with a winter rye or brassica? Not sure if it would be needed, but wondering if it would help or hurt. I was just thinking of a late season food source.
