Yes, these are the words I usually associate with buckeyes.

I want to broadcast some rye grain into my food plots to fill in and help nurse the clover. The plots also contain daikon radish and chicory. The rain forecast for the next 15 days is dismal with the highest percentage being 20% chance. What are the odds the rye grain will germinate with just...

Here is a picture of two weeks growth.

Ok planted my plots two weeks ago. Daikon Radish, Chicory, and a white Clover blend. Since then received 1/4" rain in one event and another 3/4" in another event. How much growth should I have expected in those two weeks? I have emergence and some of the radish is maybe three inches tall. How...

Bought it at Agri Supply but I know DR carries a similar one. If your breaking new ground it requires patience and many hours on the back of the atv. Once I bought a atv sprayer and started using Gly it really helped. Does not work well on hard pan like a log landings but does well on fields.

Clover, chicory, and daikon radish have been planted. Expecting rain Wednesday. Plan on over seeding with WR the 1st. of October. 1st. Photo is the cutover strip plot with a shooting house down at far end. 2nd. Photo a bottom field with two different loc on bow stands and a shooting house...

This will be the last time this happens.

Looking good. Planting Thursday and Friday in between Tstorms.

I have issues in the past as well but what I started doing was do a pass and then instead turning back for another pass I loop all the way around and make the next pass in the same direction of the first. It adds time but I can see the previous pass path better that way instead of going against it.

Looks like trial and error. Lol No offense Dan but I think I will go with Joe Buck's recommendation.

I received my new Solo Hand spreader yesterday and to my surprise there were no seed setting recommendations except for fertilizer and grass seed included or affixed to the spreader. Any recommendations for spreading clover? I googled but wasn't able to find anything but the suggestion for trial...

The rye was going serve as a nurse crop for everything else. Any suggestions to plant with the mix instead of the rye?

OK. I have two plots I will be planting for the fall. A 2 acre and a 1 acre. I plan on planting a clover mix, chicory, daikon radish, and rye grain. The land is in east North Carolina. Zone 6 I believe. Question is when should I plant? I know you usually don't plant grains until later September...

The more I thought about it the more I realized an acre of beans or peas wouldn't stand a chance so I am going to plant the whole thing and let the chips fall where they may.

First off I wasn't going to plant a spring/summer plot because I thought the farmer was going to plant soy beans and figured why waste the money. My food plot is 2 acres of grown over field sandwiched between two large ag fields that I tilled under back in January. It turns out they planted...
