I have a screen shot saved from one of their prostaffers dumping IW clover into his spreader. Cloud of blue dust, probably not healthy to breath in. My other thought was, you paid for all that blue dust and now it’s floating away in the air.

But there is a YouTube star who will rant until he’s blue in the face that the pretty orange seed coating is needed.

We did some August plantings in our garden and it got 5 feet tall. But was disappointed with the nodules on the root. Possibly not enough growing time. The winter peas produces more nodules. If spring planting , I’d say mid to late June when the soils really warm up.

Just saw this now. I don’t mix anything with our HD screen, it needs all the nutrients and sun it can get. We did a side by side planting of our HD Screen and another companies Egyptian wheat / sorghum sudan grass . Two snowfalls so far. Our screen is 9 feet the other stuff is 2-3 feet all...

It’s really crappy soil and the peas struggled. I was hoping they would actually make a pea pod and peas. Similar to beans for late season food. Beets are holding their own but again, crappy clay / sand soil. If done in better ground I think it would produce a lot. Not sure on pounds per acre...

12 seems to be the minimum

We have an acre of milo planted in Upper Michigan. We added winter peas and sugar beets at planting. Used dual II magnum as a preemergent and it did great. Planted a month late due to no rain (late June)

Looks great Well done

Hey folks , first time here in a few years. Couple thoughts: 1) This is not sorghum sudan grass, that is pretty much a guarantee failure when snow/ wind hits. 2) This does not like wet ground at all, we recommend Egyptian wheat on damp ground. Although EW doesn’t have the late season stand...

We produce the blend that Jeff Sturgis refers to. 1) No, he does not have a contract, big check or is paid to say that about DER. 2) He helped design our original mix in 2012 and we choose Athena rape as it produces more forage per acre over DER. We lost one of our suppliers for Athena and now...

Dukslyar I just found this now... Yes that is the Simizine we recommend for use when planting our Food Plot Screen.

Ok The lower part had little weed control and was full of Johnson grass. Choked it out and it shows the results. Sorry, didn’t mean to call you out.

Not sure what you did wrong. Our screens average 12 to 14 feet tall. And they all stayed upright past Christmas. The screen behind my house is still standing past 10 feet as I type this. I see many issues with planting. Over seeding, lack of weed control, to shallow planting depth and planting...

We will drill it in. Or one light tiller pass to stir the top layer up and seed then cover the big seeds with a small drag or disc. Pack the plot and spread the small seeds and repack
