I believe I will stick with the 7.5" row spacing on the .50 acre plots and then go with 15" row spacing (plug seed meters) on my bigger plot that I have planted on 30" spacing with a two planter.

I have all my seed and starter fertilizer bought. The input cost this year is ridiculous!! Triple 17 is $25.50 per bag and bulk was only $11 cheaper. What surprised me was the cost of chufa seed, $93 per 50 lb bag. I figured everyone made a bumper crop last year so I got sticker shock on over that price.

I am going to plant some summer plots as I feel like it will save me a little money over what I normally do. I usually feed protein year round, but that cost has risen significantly. Went from $9+ per bag to over $12+ last time I bought some. I have around $750 invested in seed and fertilizer will be $817 for what I am planting in summer deer plots.

Feed store in oak grove has chufa for $70 a bag, just picked up 200 lbs, Best I can remember it was close to that last year
