Heat, Army Worms and lack of rain have me holding off planting right now.

Well, I originally said I was going oats only but was able to score some extra turnips from a friend. I also found crimson clover at our feed store for $72/bag...so am thinking of this route:
Per Acre (Broadcasted)
50 lbs forage oats
50 lbs wheat
10 lbs crimson clover
2 lbs purple-top turnips
This mix comes out to about $53/acre for me with the free turnips. Planting about 4 acres total across our 135 acres..

Originally posted by Drycreek3189 View PostI wish, but I cannot afford a drill. It’s disced lightly and broadcast, fertilized and planted, then dragged in. The clover on the pipeline is planted on top and rolled with my F350. I planted clover in two other plots as well but just spread it on top after the grain had been planted as above. We did this right ahead of the two days of rain last week. It was pretty dry when we planted but we took a chance on the forecast. We had a full inch where these plots are. I planted two at home on Saturday after 2.25” of rain. They’re up too, but naturally not as much as the ones four days ahead of them.
