Is it as simple as throwing seeds out ?
Dang ole rain. Looking like it won’t go away.
Last month i bushhogged and put the glypho to it.
Tried to disc Saturday. Couldn’t break 1/2 of my plots. Too muddy. Throwing up rooster tails.
Still have time, though i like to plant late sept / early October.
Normally I’ll plant bob oats, elbow rye and wheat.
Thinking this year may have to go with rye grass. Spread and let it be.

I do a Glyphosphate ‘burn down’ when I do a no-till
Wait about 10 days for everything to wilt and get mushy. Toss out rape and brassica, turnip greens, etc. small seed only need ground contact to take off. Do it right before a pounding rain so the pushes the seed into the decaying duff.

While not as wet as MS we chiseled the plots and put down fertilizer last week.
Last weekend he planted wheat with the grain drill and had no problems with it bunching up.

Wheat, ryegrass and rye will grow by getting rained in. We just finished up no till drilling 45 acres of deer plots with oats, turnips, radish and clovers. Not much rain here yet.
Life is good live it while you can.

I haven’t look at the rainfall numbers, this fall has to be above average.
Hopefully it’ll dry some.
Thanks for the replies. I’ll give it a try.

I would continue with the oats/rye/wheat. I would not switch to ryegrass. I've had very good luck getting oats and rye to grow broadcast without tillage. If you have a way to cultipack or roll the plots, I think that helps a with getting the seeds to the soil. Likewise, if it's greened up a lot since your spraying I'd probably spray again the day you seed. I've had pretty darn good luck broadcasting seed, cultipacking, and spraying.

Most of the combine operators around here seem to do a good job of no-till broadcasting wheat and corn out the back of their combine. Looks like they all get a pretty good stand...

I have had good luck with winter rye. Rain came late this year and I am still going to have a couple of good plots.

My soil drains pretty well. I put mine in with a light till two weeks ago. I figured I had set a drought in motion, but we have had good rain.

We planted our fields (35) two weeks ago and have had rain off and on so it’s worked out well for us. Poison about two weeks before followed by discing a few days later. Cultipacker after the seed.

Over in the 'Bama, its being reported that we are right at 20" above average in Mobile County this year. In an area where 60-70" of rain a year is normal, an extra 20" is significant. I know MS and south LA are in similar situations. We're planting our plots this weekend.
