Hey Folks!
On our small farm, I have about 5.5 acres of tillable.
I have about 1.5 acres of standing corn so I will take that out of the rotation.
I have:
12 lbs of winter greens brassica
50 lbs crimson clover
10 lbs ladino clover
10 lbs arrowleaf clover
50 lbs AWP
I will also have 5-600 lbs of oats.
I have the remaining 4 +\- acres in 6 areas - some of which basically border one another.
I have a 1/2 acre area that was woods last year and I cleared it. It has not had lime on it yet and some stumps and roots remain. For this area I am going to simply drill 60-70 lbs of oats and see what it does.
For the remaining acreage, I am trying to determine the best seed combinations.
I plan to plant the brassicas (with ???) on 17 September and the rest of the seed on 9 October.
Thoughts and advice?
Thanks !
