Here is the simplest way of doing this and how I should be doing it myself if I could just quit experimenting with things. So everyone recalls the hedgerow I left across the middle of the field. That row is what the whole field would all look like right now if I had just let things run its course this summer. The pic below is a peek inside of the hedgerow. You can see how the understory grass is terminated and ready to make hay. The overstory broadleafs have all went to seed and will just terminate now with a mowing. I have hay and higher carbon OM ready to recycle without doing anything more than just broadcasting seed and mowing. I have my soil still protected and root structure in place. We rotate right from one crop to the next without exposing our soil  this is what I did with my fields, i didn't spray or mow all summer. my clover kept shade and has been growing the entire summer. the rest of the summer grasses give or take a few were like yours pictured below, dead and brown. I sowed the seed and bush hogged. going back on friday to spread fertilizer

And CNC I know I have given you a little jabbing in the past over some tracking dog drama in other threads, but I have to say, this throw and mow thread has to be one of the most informative I have ever read on this site. Quality work! Its all good..I probably deserved any jabs I got for stirring the pot.  I appreciate the commentsIm glad to see yall having success and running with these ideas in your own fields.

Yep, I really think what youve got going is about as ideal as you could want for what were doing. Very efficient and effective.

I thought about spraying but when I went and looked at my fields all summer I figured what was in the fields would work just as well. I do want to control some of the weeds because they did get too thick in some areas and choke the clover down. I also thought the grown up fields would help my fawn and poult survival, possibly even the quail that I see from time to time.

Mowing would probably thin the broadleafs some. I think you probably need to mow it really tall though......something in the knee to waist high range. If you mow broadleafs really low during summer then you'll terminate a lot of them and your field will swing to being more grass dominated.

Picked up a couple more bags of Elbon rye earlier along with 5 lbs of durana white clover. I'm gonna over seed a few of the bad areas I've been showing before this rain comes in and sprinkle a pound or two of white clover out over the rest of the fields. That should give me a nice mix of crimson, yuchi, and durana.....

Does your clover you plant in the fall grow well all through fall and winter, or do you mostly plant it so the deer have something to eat in the spring? It produces some in the fall but clover really flourishes the most in the spring/summer. I add clover to give the deer something to continue to eat after the cereals mature as well as to feed N back to the soil and other plants. This is the first year I've planted clover and had my pH right in these fields so it may thrive more in the fall this year. A couple visitors passing through

I gotta throw something out there every now and then just to keep the thread interesting. Turkeys seem to do it every time.
