Hopefully so.

Just curious, why would you mow before you throw seed, how would the seed be covered?

If the outlook is that bleak, it may be best to stop planting altogether and spend that money on timed feeders and corn.

I wouldn’t think it would kill your oats, I have a Woods that is similar to your Firminator and I plant into living plots all the time with no problem.

They can certainly make a mess of a plot.

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.

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...

Good job TC, looks like it was a perfect day!!

My go to the last few years has been alice/aberlasting, medium red, crimson and balansa.

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

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.

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...

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...

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...

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.
