I need advice. My cousin (land owner) lives more than 4 hours from the farm. He's going to be down this weekend since he has a 3-day weekend. It's basically this weekend to plant or bust. I'll actually be missing out because I'll be in Montgomery for my grandfather's birthday. Anyways, my cousin is gung-ho about throw and mow, but the fear is no rain in the forecast. So now we're trying to decide between discing and burying the seed for it to wait for rain or going the approach that's better for the soil (T&M), but perhaps a higher risk for germination. With a long delay for rain, is the main concern critters eating up a lot of the seed or the heat damaging the seed? We tend to plant too thick every year as it is, so maybe a higher seed rate would help give us a bit of a buffer? The fields are pretty thick right now with sunn hemp, which is new for us. Thoughts?
