I'm going to broadcast the clover just like rye, they'll be some thatch over it, and the rain will help germinate it.

I did 2 qts. Of 24db an acre and 1 qt. Of crop oil with it. For cleth I did roughly 20 oz an acre and 1 qt, crop oil. Thistle is an issue currently

Sprayed in May, and again mid July 2 weeks after mowing, second spraying didn't even touch thistle, I had 4 inch thistle I knownthe boom went over because I was watching and nothing happened to them. Using over 2 quarts per acre plus crop oil. So I spot sprayed 2 weeks ago with stinger, but...

I have a 1 acre clover field that is in its maybe 6th year, I sprayed with cleth and 24db and I still have weeds out there, I was thinking of just spraying it with roundup broadcasting seed and mowing the deadstuff over the seed. Do I want to spread rye or oats with it? I'd prefer oats but heard...

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

In NW MN, I have a clover plot that I planted in 2018ish. Still have decent clover, but I'm getting alot of weeds, mostly grass, it's also on a part where I can't work it, it's solid rock and would break any equipment. I mow it 2-3 times a summer and fertilize with 40lbs P a year and 60 lbs of K...

trying to answer all questions in one post.. my PH is around 7.5, i have exclusion cages and no difference i mow the clover as soon as it starts blooming so there is always fresh growth coming and most of my clover plots are actually in my more remote plots i do have some in a bigger field and...

Am I the only one that thinks clover is wayyyy over rated? I've planted Reds and whites and ive planted alfalfa, they get fertilized, mowed everything and the deer hardly ever hit it.. its almost like for a deer to be out in the plot it has to be lost. i have cameras out and hardly get pictures...

i dont think anyone has an orchard around.

very northwestern minnesota like 10 miles from canada

ideally id like them to drop in October to kind of supplement my food plots, and just in case if for some reason i cant put plots in one year i still have some food. because there isnt alot of food around. there is one soybean feild 3 miles away and another one probably 4-5 miles away and thats...

how many apple trees do i really need? i see some people planting a ton of trees and with my land i dont have any real big openings i have about 6-7 acres of food plots so would 4-6 apple trees be enough?
