I’ll probably just cut it high to help the clover thrive and then spray.

That’s only gonna help, we just try to avoid bringing in a tractor if we can help it. I top seeded last year after spraying, didn’t clip, and varied a bit on my seeding rates. All of them did well, especially the alyceclover, to the extent that I’m covering more area with less seed this year. Your mileage may vary, it was wet as frick before it got dry, so that helped establish everything.

What tiger said, but I think the germ rate was fine but all of it didn’t germinate at the same time.
Basically bump the seeding rate up and or add another species with it. This will be the first time I have ever planted Alyce clover

I just use a riding lawn mower lol!

My food plots are identical to yours. Very tall wheat with clover and turnip/radish underneath. Been trying to figure out what to do
quote:
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.

Again, what Tiger said. If you look close you can see where the sprayer missed a strip of the wheat and oats. I spraid Clethodim late March 
Wheat, oats, radish, crimson clover, balansa clover, durana clover & a late red clover. You might see some balansa and durana starting to bloom in the pic but there should be more soon. Then the red should bloom later in the summer.

do you think its to late to spray clethodim now. South west Miss, but my field looks just like the above from Outdoorreb

Not at all too late! Back when we were still spraying chemicals we would use Clethodim all through the summer.

Like the one I posted? Are you referring to the clover blooming? If you have crimson clover I wouldn’t spray it this late if you are wanting the crimson to reseed for this fall.
It will damage that crimson clover and the flowers (which could/probably will reduce the production). If you aren’t worried about that you could spray it. That is why I spray mine as soon as it starts getting into the stem elongation stage and the deer really don’t touch it.Clethodim will ding Crimson Clover for whatever reason.
Some I leave to head out for the wildlife if the clover doesn’t have a good enough stand and I don’t have plans to plant soybeans in it.
When was the wheat/oats planted? If it is headed like some of mine, you might as well let it go and let the seed be eaten/volunteer for the fall.

Would yall run a quick disc before throwing out plot seed or just throw into current food plot and let it do its thing?

It will germinate much better if you do.

I'll bump this to pass on a lesson from the weekend...
The vetch seed that seems to be most readily available this year still has the hull with it where normally it's just the tiny seed. That larger seed did NOT work well in my small seed box on my drill. We ended up mixing it with our other seeds in the large seed box to get it planted.

It wasn’t dropping?
Posted on 4/29/24 at 6:12 pm to Da Hammer
I plan to calibrate my drill tomorrow with it. My original plan was to use the big box and to put the Alyce clover in the small seed box
Posted on 4/29/24 at 7:20 pm to The Levee
It was clogging after passing out of the box into the seed cups. They would clog quickly and a couple clogged from the base of the tube all the way up to the seed box.
Putting it in the main seed box was the way to go by far.
