I'm in the same situation. Planted a long 4.5 acre strip of corn for the first time this year. It has come in great with most stalks holding two ears. My plan is to bushhog one acre 4 times throughout the fall/winter. The corn will give some great cover from neighbors on this 40 acre track, so...

Instead of letting the other half stand and die off, you could overseed with cereal rye and clover around labor day. Brassica and my cereal plots are always side by side for easy rotation. Winter rye is fairly cheap and requires zero tillage as long as you get good seed 2 soil contact. Just a...

Yes sir, been buying seed from John for many years

TNM screen plot planted last weekend. Right under a 1/2 acre. Heavy rain that night was welcomed [emoji16] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Are you able to spray the rye with a grass herbicide that way you wouldn't be affecting your brassicas?

Thanks all, all great info! I think the plan will be to spot spray as much as possible and over seed with WR, oats, radish, clover mix.

I can spray and seed the same day correct? I like the no tilling way as I agree that I'd be exposing more weed seed.

I have thistle taking over one of my 1/2 acre brassica plots. If i want to terminate the plot and replant in a cereal mix, do I need to spray and kill or can I just till to terminate? We've finally started getting some wet weather and this plot was really dry and the brassica mix didn't fair too...

Beautiful clover!

Thanks, yep that was my intention for the clover. There is actually a lot of brassica seeds germinated but are hard to see in the pic. Rained really good this evening so hoping it will trigger some good growth this week. Definitely will fill in bare spots with cereals once I get an idea of how...

15#Rye, 15#oats, 1#ptt, 2#rape, 3#clover (med red & jumbo ladino)

Planted this plot last fall in a mix of rye, peas, radish and clover. Did great last year and was a top plot for deer sightings. Fast forward to July 22 while out mowing trails and plots I stopped to mow this plot and totally forgot I planted clover last fall. Weeds were 5ft high but hiding...

Been following along for awhile now and tried my first throw/mow plot out. Went in on 7/22 and mowed an 1/8 acre plot. This field hasn't been touch in 20-30 yrs. There is a lot more acreage available but trying out a small plot first. The weeds were too tall (6-7ft tall) to seed first so I mowed...

Any help on what this is growing in my clover plot? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
