OK ..this is not a bash a seed dealer post but asking for honest thoughts ..so to set the stage ..we had river damaged bottoms that the dirt pan folks finally got to this summer but did not finish until June 20 ..we immediately planted rye grass and wheat soy beans ..and of course did not realize we were at the beginning of a drought ..so nothing but weeds ..so we have been doing mowing and burn downs and will have basically bare dirt to plant the fall cover crop in ..I explained this to the seed dealer ..so the seed rates per acre may be over populated ...or since there is not so much as a piece of crop matter the quantities my be over compensating for possible poor germination ??? ..your thoughts please Keeping in mind we need good roots and ground cover to withhold the dirt from the river this spring ...

The following is the seed dealer/tech's suggestion
Small seed box / per acre
4# Oasis Chicory
2# PTT
5# Crimson Nitro coat Clover
4# Fixation Balansa Apex Green Clover
5# Frosty Berseem Nitro coat clover
For total 20lbs/ AC dispensed from the small box
Large box / per acre
2# Groundhog Radish
5# wheat
7# total / AC from the large box
After germination we are going to sow 150#/AC cereal rye to add root and plant matter ..so basically the first fall plant is hoped to be more about anchoring the dirt as well as having plant mass to lay down this spring via crimp roller termination
Thanks
