I am putting several of my smaller food plot areas back into production. Several are spots in 23 year old clear cuts where I had a D3 push all the Scotch pine limbs and the black locust trees themselves. These piles were then burned to the ground. I had the D3 clear out all stumps and rocks in these areas.
I have sprayed them all with generic 41% glyphosate, brand name Buccaneer. The round up took great and killed the grass on the areas. I have done the first pass disking to break up the sod. I did a cross hatch pattern.
I am going to disc again and spray again if needed. Possibly run a commercial rototiller as the last pass to chop up the dead grass and get a good planting surface.
I have RR ready Eagle soy beans, RR sugar beets, and dwarf Essex rape seed to plant. My land is in Portage County, Central Wisconsin. I am going to spread the seed with a belly seeder and then roll it in with a large roller filled with water towed behind the Kubota.
What are the latest dates that I can plant the above seed this season? I have not done later season planting in ages and am looking for any advice that will help me with this job.
