Hello,
I have a new 5 acre plot in west central MN that I am going to put in this year. The goal is to provide food and possibly cover for pheasants, and have a late season (Dec) attractor for deer.
The field has been in a wheat/soybean rotation that past number of years and is surrounded by 100s of acres of soybeans and corn.
Originally I was thinking of frost seeding some clover and then planting a Milo mix into that, but after some feedback, I'm thinking of changing course a bit.
My plan is now to:
- Plant an oat/wheat mix (other?) late April, as soon as the 14 day forecast shows no severe frost.
- Late June I'd throw, mow and spray a mix of Milo/Soybeans.
- Early Sept I'd try and over seed rye & radish, depending how thick things get.
Any feedback on this proposed plan?
Thanks,
