These guys have a lot of good information on planting and stratification. I have gotten seed from them in smaller quantities. https://www.prairiemoon.com/

I think if you plant the seed you will have good success. Considering the seed is wind blow normally and lays on the surface until it germinates.

Tried to spread fertilizer in the small plots last night and another example of POS equipt.Used way to much plastic for over 200.00.I dug out my old 4wheeler spreader and it slid right over my mount for my boomless and worked fine. I have 22 acres of buffer strip that expires next year and with the BS of not having forbs in a wetland I tried to renew I thought I would get to work early.I have the guy coming out monday.This patch I have alot of natural forbs and they are alot easier to see now VS when grass is 5ft tall

I am guessing the brown limbs is going to turn out to be fire blight.I will go through and identify which ones suffered the worse damage.

It's been awhile since I posted.I haven't even sat a tree yet except with daughters to ML hunt.One killed a mid 150s 10pt. We cut the double crop beans off last week and the late planted beans barely made with the drought so I drilled wheat it food plots also and waiting on a rain. I drilled 20 acres of wheat today for feed since we won't plant the crop fields back due to rotation.

IIt's been awhile but will try to catch up some. All I planted this year was 25 fragrant sumac and 25 bur oaks, Some of the oaks I planted where I wanted and some I just got in ground and tubed and will spade them next year and move.Alfalfa-clover plot is great and the 2 year old 30 tree fruit orchard is growing. The rains have been helping not having to water as much. Did find something strange when I got to the barn this morning, a quail had flown into my walkin door and was dead on the concrete. I really hate to see that as they are just starting to make a come back.Looks like we will be planting early milo of ag ground then a cover crop of wheat and radishes, Should start planting this week.
