Glad you answered the question about planting brassicas early and cultipacking over them. I’ve often wanted to planted early and come back later to broadcast and cultipack cereal grains, but have been worried about damaging the brassicas. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Thanks Yoder I’ll give that a try. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

One of my more fertile plots has a pretty deep layer of thatch from laid down CR and clover that died with our heat. It’s a very thick layer. I was thinking about setting my Firminator with the disc blades straight and counting in the cultipacker to get the sets down to ground rather than just...

That’s awful. We’ve had our share of drought here in N TX, but I’ve never heard of closing schools or shortening the week for that. I’m really sorry to hear about that for you guys. That’s a sad deal Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I was beginning to think we were in the same spot until a week ago. We’ve been very fortunate to get some recent rains. Ended up with 1.6” last night. It was supposed to be 2-3”, but I won’t complain. I hope the rest of you guys that are hurting get some soon. Sent from my iPhone using...

We got a little over 1” today in less than hour. Looks like more on its way Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

It’s what I planted this past weekend I’ll keep you updated as the spring/summer progresses Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I tried that as well. Also tried summer release in an established plot Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

We have good chances of rain the rest of the week in S OK. I sure hope so, I had a new pond dug and have seed in the ground. Good luck to the rest of you Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I’ve got 2 plots that I don’t think I’d have any chance at seeding through them right now. Clover is knee high and the cereal rye is chest high. Like you, my clover will dry up by July. The only reason I I’m acted spring plots this year was to get a cover crop on some newly cleared ground as...

Welcome to the forum. Depending on where you are located, there may be an abundance of native forage in your area. Spring green up is in full force in my area and deer will prefer that any day to supplement feed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

DC- I planted a few different spots this past weekend 1. Plot cleared by dozer over a year ago which I overseeded in cereal rye and clover last fall. I set the disc for the most aggressive angle possible. It did very well in this plot. The rye and clover from the previous year was not very...

I used my firminator this weekend and opted to install my new hydraulic top link. I’ve been using a quick hitch for most of my implements with the exception of my brush hog. Before this weekend, I had only used my firminator with the quick hutch one time. I have to say, the hydraulic top link is...

Did you mix anything with your NWSG in your hand spreader as a carrier or just straight seed? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I tried searching before posting and couldn’t find a direct thread. For those who you who successfully seed native grasses and forbs without a drill, what method did you find most effective? I’ve got some areas that I have planted for a few years with the idea that I’d eventually seed with a...
