when i plant clover in the fall, i usually plant brassicas with my clover, it acts as a nurse crop then the next year the brassicas will be dead and the clover will be good. that's what ive always done, if i plant in the spring, ill use oats as a nurse crop with the clover, but much prefer the...

Most seed corn if it's unused that season gets shipped back and stored in a facility at 50 degrees and 50% humidity to protect the germ, also don't want to use regular corn from the elevator as they use heat to dry it which harms the germ. Alot of seed dealers have left over "plot seed" that's...

I have a love hate relationship with rye, my deer don't overly touch it in the fall, they'll browse some, but way prefer the turnips over the rye, for me rye doesn't have enough attraction power, if it's planted alone in a plot I don't see many deer there, I do love it for the spring once the...

You have a beautiful plot there, I wouldn't spray with gly as that would kill the clover, and I hate the "half rate" of gly because that's how we get roundup resistant weeds, I don't see many broadleaf weeds there anyway, I'd probably wait until the grains seed out. Then mow
