I currently have a smaller field enrolled in the Dbltree mix. The brassicas last year are now planted into oats and annual clovers and the cereal section in fast growing rye with red clovers underneath.
Well just this week I decided it is too much of a pain to get to this field to continue the rotation so I want to put it into white clover instead (much easier to occasionally spray and mow).
SO...how would you go about getting to that point from where I am at currently? Basically I'd like to plant the whole field in the cereal mix with white clovers in late August, which in turn will end up a white clover field the following year. My question is how should I manage the cover crops in the meantime? Do I still need to spray the rye soon and then mow it? What about the oats?
