re: Planted summer plots today

2.24 acres of summer mix from Bluff Farms in the center and did the outside parts of the field with brown top millet.
1.2 acres of 20lbs Clay Peas and 30 lbs browntop millet
Disced, harrowed smooth, burned with Glyphosate last week.
Did soil tests a few months ago and said to add lime and nitrogen
Did one ton of lime in all my fields (10 tons total) about three weeks ago
Did the right amount of fertilizer
I’m trying so hard to get this right and move to no till buffalo method using the drill, Crimper, and saving on fertilizer
Trying to move away from corn and protein

This is our 3rd year on the drill. Still a bit of a learning curve to get it right. We were planting the joint vetch(summer), and clover(fall) too deep with the drill. Germination was spotty. Adjusted the drill to basically be controlled broadcasting. We’ll see what happens.

How are you trying to do this? Buying bagged seed or making your own mix? Are you using a consultant? If you aren’t using a consultant, how did you decide on what soil samples to use?
I’m about to put 50 acres into this program this fall. Possible up to 200 acres in it in the next 5 years or so.

What was in that mixture you planted?
Did you plant in any moisture?
If you didn’t plant in any moisture and you get enough rain when you do get one it should be fine. Fertilizer is probably gone though and your pre if you put one out.
I have seen peas come up from moisture rising at night. That might not be the case with you since you disked the week before.
Probably just sitting in dry dirt. If that is the case, then no rain is better than a 1/4” rain.
