I am talking about spreading clover and brassica with a 3 point cyclone seeder. Many have said you just mix the seed in with rye, oats, etc. The deer don't care if it is a pure uniform stand. OK, I get that. After watching the cyclone seeder work it looks to me as if the seed feed from the...

Have you looked at The Nature Conservancy? They have saved a lot of land from being developed.

You guys are saying not to even scratch the soil, but doesn't a no-till drill scratch the soil. I have quit bottom plowing and/or rototilling, but will use my offset disk after herbicide burn down and before seeding. Our soil is so hard that it will only cut in about an inch or two but will...

Our property is the old family farm that we have/are added to it. Now we spend money and raise wildlife. Hopefully it will never be for sale. Saw this happen locally. There was 300 acres of forest land that a group of local young friends bought 30-40 years ago for a hunting property...

Here in WNY we are overrun by solar and wind projects. Keep in mind that without subsidies they cannot sustain themselves. Usually, a 25-year life span and then you have a mess to clean up. Many cannot pass the environmental impact study and the land is tied up in litigation for years. Our...

I am in WNY and our soil is 3" of topsoil, clay, hardpan and stone. I have been bottom plowing in the spring, disk once to smooth. Apply Gly and 2,4d and let it burn down. Then rototill, plant and cultipack. Try to get my planting done before Aug 15. I plant oats, WR, buckwheat, Purple...

$7K is not reasonable. Afraid I am looking for something that doesn't exist. Yoderjac do you mix clover or brassica (very small seed) with your cereal grains in the broadcast seeder? What is WR/CC/PTT/GHR? Does your seeder have a mixer in it? I have been doing spray-throw-and mow (or...

I mix cereal grain with my pelleted lime of fertilizer and spread with a cyclone 3 point seeder. I spread brassica and clover seed with a belly grinder. Maybe 2-3 acres a year. I am not getting uniform coverage. Keep thinking I need a Brillion Drill, but the price is prohibitive. I would like...

I use Thunder, but not till I see some grass starting. It sets Yellow Sedge back. We are still getting snow showers, so no green up yet!

Anybody using a Brillion Sure-Stand for Clover/Brassica. What setting are you using? Are you mixing seed or doing one at a time? Bill

Mark, sent you a PM

Clover and Brassica seed is so small we have a hard time getting uniform coverage. There is no way we can justify a Brillion or Woods seeder. Our largest plots are 1/2 acre We use a "belly grinder" and just can't get uniform coverage. I have asked this question before and nobody has posted a...

Anybody tried Pro-Cal (liquid calcium) in place of lime? Supposed to be cheaper then lime, but I am not finding any conversion tables. Our soil usually need 2-3 tons of lime per acre. Supposed to be ably to apply it with a regular herbicide sprayer. Bill

Where are you located? I am in Cuba, NY and am going to try Thunder herbicide. Would you be interested in splitting a gallon? Contact me at bsekf@roadrunner.com Bill

Thank you very much, I'll do a search for your posts. Did Thunder eradicate the nutsedge or does it come back in a year or two? Thank you, Bill

That is a great price, Keystone has it a +$300. Now...... how does it work???? How and when did you apply? Have you used it enough to know if it kills Yellow nut grass or just sets it back? Guy I talked to at Keystone said you might have to apply a second time. Please let us know you...

Thunder is supposed to work and it get a lot of stuff including fleabane and is safe in clover. But pricey, $319 / gallon and good for 20 acres, so about $16 an acre. Sledgehammer is about $80/acre and only gets nutsedge. I'm looking for 3 locals to share a gallon of Thunder.

Will Thunder control yellow nut sedge?

We don't use 50# cereal grain per acre, unless that is all we are planting. But we are planting on a prepared seed bed. We use 30# cereal grain, with 15# mixed brassica's. When we reseed clover we cut it down more, 20# cereal grain, 8-10 mixed brassica's and 20 # mixed red and white clover...
