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.

I’d try to mow it down
Posted on 4/21/24 at 10:56 am to TheDrunkenTigah
I only needed 0-24-24 in the fall.

I have leftover seed that I need to sell. 2 bags of biologic forage soybeans and 9 bags of heritage blend. I’ve tried marketplace with no luck. Any other website that y’all would recommend using to sell this seed. It’s a steal of a deal.

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.

I would hate to disrupt that. A good stand of Durana is hard to beat. And if it's good well drained soil, it could be viable all year.
At most I would disk up half of it. Either do half of each plot over to summer forage. Or select half the plots to convert.
If you're gonna leave some plots and convert some, I would suggest leaving the best, deepest, loamy soil in Durana. It might persist. Convert the less desirable soils into your summer plots.
Just my 2c

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.

One of my coworkers is giving regen a shot on three micro plots in the woods
I told him to put up electric fences until the peas came out. He doesnt have hogs...but the deer will never let 1/5 acre clay peas and millet come up.

That's gonna be tough however if he is going regenerative he should have more like 5-12 species instead of two and hopefully the combination will help.

Trying to decide what to do with my plots. I have pictures a month apart. The winter plots have definitely grown and the deer are all over in the tall wheat. I was planning on going this weekend and just cutting everything down.
Just let it regrow naturally? Spray it and throw some seed out for summer plots? I don't have a ton of time to go back and forth due to baseball and soccer and finally have a free Saturday to get something done before its 100 degrees.

Soybeans- 60 acres
Corn- 10 acres
Vetch & Alyce clover- 30 acres
*Regen mix- 50 acres
Rice- 100 acres
Brown top & Jap millet- 25 acres
Chiwapa & Ehyptian wheat mix- 80 acres
*Regen mix- 10 different varieties from green cover but not one of Grant Woods mixes.

Are you changing anything about your vetch this year? I assume you were told the same thing I was about the seed this year. I was told the producer didn’t hull the seed and probably won’t in the future

Your plots look identical to mine. I assume there’s some clover beneath the wheat and that’s what the deer are actually eating.
What I’m doing is spraying clethodim because it will kill only the wheat and oats, which have gone to seed anyway. I’m hoping this also kills off all grasses and lets the clover dominate. It would help to clip it but at this stage it’s not completely necessary, a month from now it would be. I’ll seed at the same time with cowpeas, alyceclover, and vetch. The cowpeas are cover and I don’t expect them to make it much past sprouting, the other two do well in the heat with vetch being slower to establish. I’ll come back in a month and hit it again with clethodim to control any grass competition.
Fairly low effort and it produced well last year into the drought, which is realistically what I hope to achieve.

So what steps need to be taken to plant un-hulled vetch?
Posted on 4/23/24 at 10:18 am to WillFerrellisking
Most sources just recommend increased planting rates, I’m not taking out a mortgage for seed so I’m planting it as normal, we’ll see.
