Given that it is that old, it wouldn't hurt to rotate. Buckwheat ahead of time isn't a bad idea. Personally, I'd establish late August with a cereal grain like rye or wheat to help keep weeds at bay and soak up some nitrogen. Or better yet, switch the field to brassicas for a fall, and...

Old thread but.. has anyone seen the new PH Outdoors M5 drill? More cost effective option at $9k. Can put suitcase weights on them for harder ground. Supposedly are making a M8 as well in the next 12 months.

Yes.. IF: - Your 3 point has a draft / float setting - Your packer is heavy, not a (cheap) lightweight one.

It's always a night and day difference in the areas that I pack. That being said, anything to help incorporate will help. Drag a cedar tree with a 4 wheeler if you have to..

Post #2166 may help also.

They grow wild on our farm here in mid MO. Being a touch farther to the north I would make sure you get plants or seed stock from others in your area, or those to the north to make sure they are cold hardy enough for your climate zone.

Makes for fantastic cover, but you're somewhat stuck with mowing in lieu of burning to maintain that stand. Or perhaps get creative with your firebreaks :)

Definitely, as long as you have a good seed bed (bare soil). Would help to lightly scratch up the surface before you pack in. Yes, to spray ahead of time if you can.

Still crazy slow for me. Good internet speed/connection outside of this site..

Ahh yea that's right.. Fixed.

Amen! His football stories at Louisiana Tech are legendary. Stopping to limit out on squirrels before coming to football practice. Started ahead of Terry Bradshaw. He was that good.. Quit to make more time for hunting.

June is 100% the way to go with switchgrass. 100x better results than frost seeding IMO. These new RC varieties will keep pace with most weeds. I'm not big on monoculture stands unless purpose is for screening. Only caveat to herbicide use would be areas with heavy foxtail pressure...

Looking good. What grain drill is that?

1.3” in central MO and round 2 hail damage on my truck!

Indian Hemp / Dogbane. Perennial that's here and there in our fields as well. Related in the milkweed family. Has a milky poisonous substance on the inside. Can see when you cut, mow it. Not much eats it for this reason.

I think this drill is a great value. Only downside of the cultipacker is you may have a more inconsistent stand due to uniform packing wheel height. Individual packing wheels like the G series would allow it to follow the ground better. Should be less of an issue if predominantly...

I know this is an old thread but I hunted early season last year in a pair of gray Mountain Khaki pants. Comfortable and durable. Paired with the new Sitka Cover lightweight hoodie for the top and it worked quite well..

100% fall seed. Clover is a cool season plant. You're in the tail end of the cool season and at the start of the warm season, I would not plant any cool season plant right now. Shoot for mid-August and plant with a cereal grain. Can mix in annuals in like Crimson, Berseem into your...

As long as rye has made it to the boot stage (grain head inside flag leaf), mowing should pretty well terminate it. Emergence (before pollinating) will also mow kill.

I used winter wheat this time around. But you'll get a cleaner stand (a few less broadleaves) with cereal rye. It's allelopathic qualities are real, and IMO the result is a touch better. Rye also grows a larger root mass than wheat, which I also think helps weed suppression, and allow the...
