Anyone have any new ideas they're trying this fall in your plots? Most of my ideas are on the table and have been shared here already.
I have a tiny sorghum trial going in my asparagus bed right now. I'm leaning towards throwing a few pounds of WGF sorghum in when I throw and mow this fall. I don't know if it'll have enough time to completely finish, but I think there may be a chance I get it to the point where the deer will take the heads and probably the plant yet this fall.
I'm hanging up the cereals work I think for good. I had been trying all sorts of different winter and spring forage cereals over the years. I haven't seen the results to make me keep going. I haven't seen anything that can trump rye for speed outta the ground and speed to canopy to prevent unintended plants from showing up in spring and summer. I'm still going to mix in some awnless spring barley with my fall plots. It's pretty quick to head, and if it doesn't, the whole plant is edible anyway.
My end goal is to wrap up the experiments and begin to simplify the plot blends and take out the expensive or hard to source components. No more paying big shipping to get fancy improved forage cereals shipped in.
