We use the following mix in late May to early June here in SE Iowa Quote: 12-16 ounces clethodim 6-8 ounces glyphosate 1 qt crop oil per acre Is late April too early to use this spray mixture?

I've used doe in estrus in the past. Have had bucks hit the scent and come in on a rope, but then other times no luck. Guess it really depends on the deer and time of year. For $10 the 1oz bottle is worth it in my opinion.

Thoughts anyone?

Too early to plant rye? I am going to plant rye (just rye) into a couple acres that deer have destroyed soybeans, is it too early to do it this weekend?

Planted 7 acres of brassica mix on Saturday, then 4 inches of rain on Sunday. Hope it wasn't too much rain, but definitely glad to get rain after getting plots in the ground.

I would definitely add oats for a cover crop when starting clover. I personally wouldn't bother with the berseem as its an annual, the ladino and alice will do great by themselves. 6-10#s per acre is what is recommended for white clover. You should probably consider adding white clover inoculate...

This is what dbltree recommends: Winter rye 50-80#'s per acre (56#'s = a bushel) Spring oats 80-120#'s per acre (32#'s = a bushel) The deer love the rye, so I just go heavy instead of worrying about 1/2 bags. I could have maybe used one less bushel of oats and 1/2 a bag less of rye, but the ROI...

Eldon, I know you asked dbltree, but here is what the seed cost me this year to plant an acre of the "dbltree" mix <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="433"><colgroup><col style="mso-width-source:userset;mso-width-alt:8813;width:181pt" width="241"> <col style="width:48pt"...

Speaking of weather, anyone know how much snow the Leon area got? Great pic

Anyone ever seen brassicas go from this to this in two weeks? Left 9/12, right 9/25

Last year we planted this mix on one acre ,with heavy N applied, per Dbltree's recommendation. Purple Top Turnips 3# Dwarf Essex Rape 2# GroundHog Forage radish 5# It seems that the brassicas were "too" crowded and didn't have as much bulb/root development as they should have. It seemed that...

Is that seriously all you did? Looks great, and nice buck.

Really wish I would have taken the time to up an exclusion cage on my winter rye/oats/peas/radish/clover plot so I could tell how well its growing, lesson learned. Due to lack of rain over the last two months and a huge increase in usage of the plot thanks to a combo of brassica, clover, corn...

I have a foxtail problem in my brassicas, wasn't there over Labor day, now plots are full of it. I don't think that its worth worrying about now, but is clethodim the solution if the same thing happens next year to my GFR/DER/PT mix? Looks like it is okay to use on "rape greens and turnip...

I get my winter rye from Des Moines Forage Turf (who is now a sponsor of this site) in Ankeny. Doug has always had it on hand. He told me that the price of corn is causing the price or rye to go up (50-60% increase from last year)

That sucks, I've been there and had a food plot that was looking great (corn/beans) get completely wiped out by the neighbors cattle that found a hole in the fence. Learned a valuable lesson the hard way about checking and fixing the neighbors fence before putting in food plots.

I planted the "dbltree cereal mix" on 9/4-9/5 and the first hint of rain was on Wednesday 9/14. I think the rye/oats/clover should be fine for the fall but what about the peas and radishes? Is it too late for them to amount to anything assuming they germinate in the next few days?

This post got me thinking about what I spent per acre yesterday: I definitely feel that I went plenty heavy with everything. Winter rye 1 bushel @$15 - $15.00 Jerry oats 2 bushel @$9 - $18.00 Austrian peas 15 pounds @$1 - $15.00 GFR 5 pounds @$2.85 - $14.25 Alice white clover 7 pounds @$4.50 -...
