Dbltree,
Had a meeting with my districts NRCS rep. I have a couple different options on seeding my 18 acres of Illinois Safe CRP. I can use the NRCS bulk mix as described in my other post and add the extra switch to his mix when they come out to plant it. ( They do not rent-out drill anymore, they have one drill and it plants their NWSG mix so they dont have to calibrate for everybody's diff. mix. If i go with this option, would i be better off frost seeding my CIR in designated areas later this winter ( Corn stubble that has been shredded) and just let them drill their mix overtop. Or go buy my own mix and frost seed everything? My main objective with my CRP is to create security cover which is sorely lacking my area.
Thanks
