Hello everyone,
Getting my spring plans firmed up and I had a question about planting oats as a nurse crop for a new clover field.
I was thinking of waiting and doing a late frost seed/early overseed in late March with a mix of annual/perennial clovers (frost seeding here in PA can be started almost any day now if the snow melts).
I have never planted oats before and didn't know if I should wait till later in April (last frost here is usually late April, though it snowed last year in May).
Also, should I hit the oats with a cultipacker after broadcasting or can I just let them sit? Are there advantages to hitting any frost seeded/late frost seeded areas with the cultipacker?
Thanks in advance for all the help-Derek
