That’s why I’m asking….
We’re in a good place, good numbers , the three of us get along well with no drama, landowner is great to us and is well respected locally so one messes with us so I’m treading lightly to not upset the apple cart but I think it’s way overboard on this area.

4 bags of WMS would have been plenty, might have added 5 lbs. of clover. One bag of WMS covers an acre

With a lot of fertilizer included. Our typical wheat program runs $280-$300 an acre.

What, when and how much do you use on production wheat?

We put down a 30-80-80 at planting typically. Then come back with 2 trips of N during winter and early spring to a total of 125-130 units of N

So what were your findings from the experiment? I’m guessing oats are preferred over everything else.


Oats and rye were about equal.

They rarely touched the wheat. Unless prices get extremely high on oats and rye I won’t plant wheat.

They actually prefer the ladino even in the winter.

I've had the same luck with wheat. They'll tear up the oats. Sow it thick and hit it with N.

I need to say

If wheat is all I do plant in a field for some reason then they eat it

Didn’t want to sound like they won’t eat wheat.

I use it or abruzzi a lot. I typically mix wheat, oats and either abruzzi, elbon or triticale. Throw a little crimson clover in and be done. People over complicate this. Although oats are highly preferred a few days of sub freezing temps and they’re done. I used to mix purple top turnips or dwarf essex rape. I stopped. Now dang near everything is in perennial white clover and I top sow into my clover. Clover fixes N and without constant soil disturbance P and K applications aren’t needed at such high rates.

I planted about two acres of ladino clover early this week. I put out 100lb of elbon rye with it, just to try it. Ill see what it looks like and might add something else later. I think i put 10lb of clover seed on the two acres. Its a T&M field so i really dont know what to expect yet. Ive got plenty of time to add to it if i need to. My primary goal is some feed this hunting season and ongoing feed from here on out. We will see.
Also T&Med about two acres of yuchi arrowleaf. It was about head high when i bushhogged it.

Same here. Im working towards converting half of our feilds to ladino clover for the same reasons. Planting 2 feilds in fixation clover and 2 in frosty berseem clover. First time Planting either of those .

I’m pretty sure magnet says or said 50# to the acre. Alabama blend was 50# to the half acre. I know buck buster was 50# to the acre.
