I've got a decent crop of milo / beans mix going. Looking into it I can see bare ground under all of it. Have any of you ever seeded into a standing crop like that and had success? left it standing or bushhogged onto the seed or after it was growing?
Thought about a mix of clover and brassicas into it
thoughts?

I hope it works, I plan on doing it this year. I plant about 8 acres of summer plots and after some trial and error the last few years I think I have figured out what will work best. Part of that is going to be planting no till into a cover crop. I need to increase my soil fertility and hopefully decrease fertilizer costs. I did a side by side comparison this year of a five way summer mix and my old standby of RR corn/Eagle Beans and there was no comparison, it will be corn/beans from here on out. So if clover feeds some deer and gets some nitrogen in the soil it’s a win win.

I did crimson clover and wheat into standing beans several years back, and it was great. Now I can't get the beans to survive long enough to have a standing crop.

I have done it many times. But never into milo.

I feel your ur pain. It became obvious this year the only way it’s gonna happen is if I e fence the whole field. Already have a solar charger and fencing for 4 ac but was a couple of weeks too late getting it up and running. Figured I had a little time but the sob’s ate the entire 8 acres at second leaf which they had never done before. The eagles hung in and are stilll kicking out some leaves but the 5 way could not hack it.

I did it into Milo and the problem I had when the season came in and the Milo turned brown late in the afternoons the deer blended in so well well in it you couldn’t see them. I can back and bushhogged everything so I could see them

good point , hadn't thought of that

My pea and bean mix is 3-4 foot tall now. First year I tried them, not sure the deer know what to do with them,
I was wanting to do the same. I may have to bushhog lanes and strips in the fields to see the deer until everything dies back. I thought about over seeding in the standing beans with wheat and oat mix.

Throw and mow

Yep

lol, i'm not a marshal hater like others

If that's the case, you wouldn't have to worry about it coming up LOL !!! Plus the deer eat it up.
