I have approximately 13.8 acres enrolled in the Illinois Safe Acres program. Below I have listed the minimum seed requirements.
Species Rate per Acre Acre Total needed

Big Bluestem 1.5 13.8 20.7
Indian Grass 2.0 13.8 27.6
Switch Grass .5 13.8 6.9
Canada Wildrye 1.0 13.8 13.8
Partridge Pea 10 oz 13.8 8.6
Illinois Bundleflower 8 oz 13.8 6.9
Purple Prairieclover 4 13.8 3.5
Purple Coneflower 2 13.8 1.7
Black Eyed Susan 1 13.8 0.9
My problem is I want the thickest cover possible. It is what my property lacks the most. How can I manipulate this mix with CIR Switchgrass and get the results I want.
Thanks
