I got my seed from a reputable dealer in this area and i have used it before with no problems so.... hard to say what is going on. The weeds made use of all the pot ash and nitrogen i put on. They are breaking records as far as growth goes.

Be careful when using straight urea 46-0-0. If your plants are wet when you put it on...it will burn them and possible kill them. I also had one plot of brassica that was doing well and suddenly went the other way. That was on newly broken ground also. Plants started turning purple at first and...

Used a roller for a few years and had a few times where heavy rain right after seeding would have alot of run-off. Now i use a cultipacker. It leaves dimples and ridges so i get less run-off. Did some fall plots of grain and the cultipacker put the seed in rows so when it germinated it looks...

Planted some with rye, wheat, and oats a couple of weeks ago. They are about 2 to 3" high now and so far no browsing. For the price of them you cant go wrong.

MAN!!!! That would be perfect. Very nice workmanship.

I use to rent one from a rental place. It worked on sod if there was enough moisture. Over time it got worn out from everyone renting it for food plots around here but was still very much useable. I told the owner several years ago that if he ever decided to sell it and get a new one, i want...

That is doing really good. Cant beat a deal like that.

Well planted oats rye wheat and threw in some sun flowers this time. Will let you know how they work out.

Interested in that foliar fertilizer you used...where did you get it?

Planted rape turnips radishes here in central Mn. around the first of June just for an experiment. Well the radishes are bolting and everything turned purple. Next year it will be planted in July again.

I have two plots of beans that are currently getting wiped out by the deer. I am going to reseed with rye and oats. Sounds like sunflowers are going in there too. Any special fertilizer for sunflowers?

BRILLIANT!! Works better than the swisher mower i use.

Are those pods i see? Eagels or ag soybeans? They look great...now if the hale stays away you are set.

I am going to see if i can find some bagged stuff to put on there. I know i can get bulk from my co-op. Suppose to start raining to morrow afternoon so if i could get it on before the rain it would be perfect. I also have rye to combine so that has to come first. Not enough time in a day...

Here are some pics. looks like alot of them are repeats. This plot was fine two days ago. The soil is pretty sandy and we have been getting some good rains (1/2 to an 1") each time so maybe all the N leached through already. I have 2 other plots of this stuff planted at...
