Food Plot advisor extraordinaire !
My list of "equipment wants" just keeps growing!
Sounds like a plan!!David and Canuck, I plan on doing the same thing this fall in a couple of my plots. Some minor differences in my plan are my plots are played out fall mixes from last year, that did not get a red clover stand. I will shortly do a throw and mow with buck wheat, let it grow until mid Sep then kill it and repeat the fall mix throw and grow.
I also want to move to a no till strategy if I can.
Let’s compare results later.
David, what I do is I just broadcast my seed into my clover and flip my drag upside down where it is less aggressive and drag the seed and I have great results. My drag is the kind that is made out of 1/2" cold roll in a diamond pattern and if you flip it over it has 1/2" pieces about 3-4" long that stick down like in a Y pattern. the less aggressive side works great. That's what I do. I have even done winter peas the same way. I do this with my daikon radishes too.Hey Canuck, I’ve got a throw n mow question for you. If I were to overseed some cereal grain and brassica into some of my perennial clover plots early-mid Sep and then ran over them with a cultipacker or my big drag flipped over, do you think I would get enough seed to soil contact for decent germination? I’m going to try and not break any ground this year if I can help it.

Those spikes look like they could do some work!!LOL, mine are old school and haven't used them in a long time. 2 sections, flipped over and pulled behind a 4 wheeler. They can move a lot of trash, LOL.
We've had so much good rain this year, that I'm getting concerned about some dry fall weather.
I have had 4 " in the last 2 weeks.Wow, I think we got 3/4" yesterday in Talbot County and another 3" predicted over the next 3 days. Feast or famine!
