Sprayed last Saturday for Year two of Throw and Mow on our plots. Year 1 I consider a success. Results were comparable to what we have gotten with discing in past years - with less effort and time invested. Hoping for improved success as the years go.

Wanted to do no till this year but the hogs had a different idea. It looks like a breaking plow has went through the plots. Going to have to run over them just to smooth them out

Well I put mine on the ground today... some 50lb cheap mix and 100lb of oats... maybe with the ground being soaked from last nights rain and maybe catching another rain tonight it will work... i did like I had said before. I seeded, fertilizer then weed eated the entire thing... you couldn’t hardly see any seed anywhere. So I’m hoping it made it to the dirt..

I bush hogged last years growth on my two acre plot, then I put the finishing mower on it. Let it sit for a couple weeks and cut it again with the finishing mower. Yesterday I slung seed with the gator and pull behind spreader (love it), waiting on the rain I was promised. If this plot grows it will be the easiest I have ever planted. Fingers crossed. Did

You are really supposed to put the seed down before mowing it down. You want the thatch to cover the seed which has soil contact. Not sure how good of results you will have with that approach.

Well I was planning on throwing seed and fertilizer yesterday after getting some good rain on Fri, but the ground sucked up the moisture so fast you couldn't even tell it rained 2 days prior. Instead, I put up a new shooting house that I'd been trying to get to for 2 years, but field had been too wet. Still have to add ladder, metal roof, another coat of paint and brush it in, but the hard part is done. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/iMaVLdM.jpg)

We sprayed our fields with Glyphosate last Saturday morning. Forecast is looking better next week for rain chances and we are thinking about planting this weekend.
Any concerns with planting a week after spraying?

Any concerns with planting a week after spraying? Read that. Should answer. I sprayed a week ago and I still have some green. I plan on planting weekend after bow opener or possibly later.

We wait until everything is dead before we disc, which is usually 10 days to 2 weeks. I know a feller that got anxious one year and tilled a week after spraying and he still had green stuff. He immediately planted after tilling. The green stuff had the chemical in it and killed his sprouts as soon as they emerged from the seed. Be patient and let the killing complete its job.
And to the OP, go ahead and spray so it will have time to die. Disc/Till or throw n mow. If the green still has chemical in it and yours sprouts I would imagine it would kill it also....
