I am no CNC, but when I had decent sized plots I cut shooting lanes in my plots. If I had time I replanted my summer stuff again first week of September near my bow stands. Then I came back early October and cast cereal rye in the new summer growth to take over when the summer stuff went dormant. Then I threw and mowed into the tall standing stuff my typical winter seed. My thinking was it extended my attractiveness of the plot. Also all the decaying plants help your fall stuff grow.

I like that idea....

Harold, i'm going Friday to check on seed prices. You checked on any yet? Somebody was saying there was a rye shortage.

I haven’t checked yet but I believe from reading some threads on the other forums that there’s gonna be a big hike on rye prices. I’ve seen people post prices anywhere from a few dollars higher to double of last year’s prices. I’m already thinking that we’re probably just gonna use wheat this year or maybe half wheat, half rye…..If it’s $15 or so then I can handle that…..If it’s gone up to $20-$30 like some folks are quoting then that’s just getting too pricey for me unless maybe you just need a bag or two.

Huge rye shortage. I was fortunate to get the 4000 bags I ordered early summer for sure

4000 bags! Hell no wonder there's a damn shortage. What you planting 257, all of north Alabama?

I'll run out of those pretty quick. We're cover cropping a pile of acres this year

Damn whorder !!!

Dang 257 slide me about 4 bags just across the state line. The only rye I have found is $22/bag and I cant justify that when wheat is $10/bag.

I told y'all rye would be very high if you could even find it a month ago. Dang mid west farmers need to get there act together and grow some Elbon this winter. My plan is to use a pile of wheat to overcome the germination difference of Cereal Rye.

I may need to be looking for an old combine with a wheat head to grow and harvest my own Elbon. I'd have made a killin this year if I had one and a place to keep it cause I had 40+ acres of it this year and my only hope is that it reseeds but I'm afraid I terminated it a little to soon to drill beans. Man no rye sucks.

257 we need to do some horse trading brother.

Just holler. Can do

Must be common bermuda shortage too..i about fell over at the prices..

CNC looking at your biomass field would it not be better to run a skid steer with a bushhogg head through it to thin it out good before planting ?

I'm curious how long do y'all wait between spraying and mowing?

I sprayed last week and plan on planting in about 4 weeks. I’d wait a minimum of 2 weeks.

I was just out there yesterday evening pondering over what I’m gonna do. All I have to work with is a tractor and your typical equipment. It’s super thick this year but I’m not overly worried about it. Cereal grains will do well with thick thatch. I’ve put it down thick in the past and always have great fields of cereal grains as a result. It’s the little small seeded stuff that may not do as well. I’ll probably seed any clover after I get done and just let it find its way down through thatch as the rains come.

If you're gonna spray then give it 2 weeks between spraying and mowing.

Look close…….
