It doesn’t look all that wet until you try to drive on it. I want to ask to see about the throw & mow plantings. If I broadcast the seeds on the ground and run over them with the 4 wheeler only to make good ground contact, will I get a good stand. I always disk and then plant but this area might not allow for me to do that this year. I don’t know if we will dry out enough this fall to allow me to plant so I am looking at any options on a green field. With a hurricane brewing in the tropics it don’t look promising for disking it.

Help me out with what I need to do. All input is greatly appreciated.



Spray it seed it mow it if you can. If you can’t mow don’t worry about it. I hunted a swamp that our fields would stay a foot under water through August. We did it the way I described and always had fields until it flooded again.
