Tricticale ain't cheap either this year but I'm probably gonna mix it with wheat in all my bean fields for a cover crop/food plot. My problem is I got dang near 100 acres to plant in a variety of soils I planned on doing it all in T&M this year. I did about half that last year in T&M or cover crop and it turned out just as good or better then the plowed and I'm done plowing period. This is coming from someone with some big boy toys inclunding a 20' fold out disc and a new 7 1/2' Brown disc and I haven't used them other then the brown on fire lanes in two years. I buy seed by the pallet or have it spread by the ton so I don't ever buy pre mixed seed with a deer picture on it I just mix it myself and save money. The bottom line is that Elbon should be the base in most T&M plots for several reasons including price and not having it this year is screwed my plans up big time. Oh yeah 257 I've got a HX15 and I love it the self cleaning sloped deck is nice. I probably don't have 40 acres on it because I have an old 1525 bushog that's still kicking and I give it hell.
