    Question about small seed and cyclone seeders

    I wouldn’t mix the clover in your 3 point spreader, use your 3 point for the big seed and spread the clover with a chest mounted/over the shoulder walking spreader.

    Food Plot Drill

    I was in your shoes for a long time and finally bit the bullet and bought a 7’ Woods minimal till planter about 5 years ago, it has small and large seed boxes and works great. It cut my planting time by about 2/3rds and I get much better germination, my only regret is that I didn’t buy one many...

    Cultipack my existing clover plot when overseeding or not?

    I wouldn’t cultipack it, throw your seed/fertilizer and mow just before a rain event and you will be fine.

    Superior Industries Sprayer

    I’ve been using boomless for a lotta years on my small atv sprayer and would never go to the hassle of booms, now on our 500 gallon pull behind at work, booms are absolutely the way to go but not on a small atv sprayer.

    WOODS seeders/products

    I plant thru standing vegetation probably 90% of the time, I plant cereal grains and brassica mixes into standing clover every year and set my disk almost straight to do as little disturbance as possible and it works great. I have also planted some 8-10 variety summer mixes and then planted...

    WOODS seeders/products

    Like SwampCat I also have the FPS 84 and absolutely love it, my only complaint is that I didn’t buy one 10 years earlier! I love being able to plant my large seed deep and small seed shallow in one pass, it is a huge time saver and I have not used my spring tooth plow or harrow in the 3 years...

    ANOTHER DRY YEAR?

    I’ve been absolutely spoiled here in west central GA because we have had plenty of rain for the last 18 months or so, unfortunately now it hasn’t rained in over 2 weeks with none in the 14 day forecast and we’ve got mid 90’s highs starting too. It’s been raining here for so long I had forgot...

    Now is the Time for Clover Plot Maintenance

    Chicory isn’t a legume so it will not add nitrogen to your soil, it actually does a decent job of scavenging nitrogen from the soil and also needs some nitrogen at planting.

    Clover’s summer option

    I have planted it in the past and the deer love it, just wondering how it will do in the durana/red clover plot. I picked up a new piece of property this year and I'm thinking about planting several acs of it there but like you said, it's hard to find alyce clover this year. If I do plant them I...

    Raptor/Clearcast

    From my experiences you’re much better off using clethodim for grasses than Raptor, much better kill and no residual.

    Planting Southern Timber Tract Thinning Rows

    white cloud I bet our climates are similar. I normally do 40-50 pounds each of wheat and oats and 6-8 pounds of white clover per acre. During the hottest part of the summer that partial shade helps to keep your clover producing.

    Planting Southern Timber Tract Thinning Rows

    I plant some similar areas here in GA, I normally do wheat, oats and white clover and it will look good for 2-3 years until the pine straw get too thick on it.The deer absolutely love those long narrow plots for daytime use.

    Plot pics

    “I’m going to drill soybeans into this when nature has run its course. It sure turned out pretty and the deer are loving it.” cutman, don't you think that your durana and chicory will last thru the summer and just keep producing for years?
