Browntop will have seeds in 45 days muzziehead.

Go ahead and get your buffer zones between the millet disced up good and overseed them one at a time with wheat. Between that and your millet you should have a great shoot if the birds cooperate.

Here is a pic of the three strips that I planted this past week just before the rain arrived. Hoping for the best. Been seeing plenty of birds feeding on what seed did not get covered. It is my understanding that I can bushhog the brown top and and then broadcast up to 200lbs of wheat on top of that and it is perfectly legal. Is this correct? Also, would it be best to just disk up a couple of lanes adjacent to the brown top millet to broadcast the wheat. I have always found that doves prefer bare ground to feed on and not sure how just bush hogging the millet would work. Any advice is greatly appreciated. This is the first time I have planted any plots for strictly dove hunting but plan to continue doing so in the future if this is successful. Trying to get a video to load but it is taking forever.

Once your brown top comes up, I would disc the strips next to them and keep them clean, and then top sew wheat on them. I would not top sew wheat into your brown top, as it will germinate and ruin your brown top crop. When your brown top comes up, I would mow it or if you have time, spray it and then burn it.

Well, the landowner will not allow me to spray or burn on this section of the lease. I was planning to disk on strip adjacent to each planted strip but will have to use the 6' disk instead of the 14' wide one. I was planning to bush hog the brown top once it seeds out, thinking that should put a lot of seed on the ground and will continue to broadcast wheat on the three strips that I plan to disk up until the time we plan to shoot it. I assume when you refer to mowing the brown top when it comes up, you mean once it heads out, correct.

Correct, but I would still disc all the areas in between your millet rows. Keep them clean and then when time, top sew in wheat in stages.
