Summer Plots 2024

New thread same struggle lol
SWMS
Planted Heritage Blend which is
Cow peas
Soybeans
WGF Milo
Sunflowers
Buckwheat
Dove Proso Millet
Sun hemp
Lab Lab
Drilled for the last four days and seeing hogs and turkeys on camera foraging for the seeds.
Got a thermal to the hogs last week but we only killed 2. Rushed my zero and only zeroed at 50 yards
Plan is to drill directly into standing rye grass (planted in December due to drought failures) white clover and vetch.
Mowing down the rye in two passes separated by about a week in each field
Don’t want to kill off the clover.
The only weeds I’ve seen are buttercups.
Anyone else planting right now?

My buck buster planted plots have wheat that’s about four feet tall. I guess that’s a good thing

I’m planting the heritage blend as well but I have a dilemma. I have a thick stand of Durana clover in all of my 8 plots. Should I clip my clover close to the ground and drill into it or should I terminate the clover then plant. I’m worried that the clover will shade out newly planted seeds and inhibit germination. Any suggestions?

Going to do cowpeas, alyceclover, and jointvetch this weekend into what’s left of the oats/wheat and clover from the fall mix. Instead of broad spectrum I’m gonna do clethodim with the idea that the grasses/cereal grains will be eliminated, and existing clover will produce until it’s too hot, then the Alyce and vetch take over. If anyone has a fertilizer rec let it fly, I’m going back and forth between 0-20-20 or triple 13, nitrogen is supposed to make clethodim more effective by giving the grass a boost as it’s taking the herbicide, but it’s not recommended with legumes.

Planting Sunflowers May 4th. I fertilized, limed, and disked about three weeks ago. Sprayed burn down yesterday. Will drill and spray preemerge on May 4th. Then come back with post emerge May 18th.
Will plant first patch of Browntop millet May 18th. Then Dove Proso millet May 25th.
Also will plant joint vetch May 25th.

Sprayed herbicide 4/17, drilled into what was standing on 4/19. Rained more than an inch 4/20.
Planted Green Cover Seed’s Summer Release:
Radish
Rapeseed
Buckwheat
Sunflowers
Sorghum
Cowpeas
Soybeans
Mung Beans
Sunn Hemp
Also, planted an acre of Warm Season Pollinator Blend, just for fun. It has about 20 species of flowering plants.
Can’t wait to see what comes up as the radishes (hip-high), clover and cereal rye die off over the next couple of weeks.

We planted last week on our land that doesn't flood. We made the decision last summer to go 100% Regenerative.
Drilled green into standing fall plots.
Drop tine Summer Nourishment, Summer Reload, Summer Squash and Caroina Perennial. Then we crimped it after planting then two days later crimped again.
Looked good this weekend in what little time I had to look around.
Wanted to plant our bottomland but found a deer shed with the tractor and then my buddy found the same one later with his. That shut us down and this weekend couldn't plant and the Big Black is WAY up anyway so we are hoping to finish this coming weekend.

Progress so far.
Drilled it in about three weeks ago. About to fertilize with 8-24-24 (broadcast)
Does anyone see any bad weeds? I think there are obviously some grasses in there so I’m debating spraying it with Poast.

I know nothing about summer plots.
However, I do concern myself with Turkey populations. I’m in MS and the MDWFP is pushing a No Mow May initiative in order to protect the Hens, nests, and Poults.
Not saying I agree with everything put out there by the state and feds, just raising awareness.

Finished planting a new 3 acre field and fertilized everything yesterday.
Hopefully this rain continues all week in SWMS
