Got my fertilizer on about a month ago when it was semi frozen !

It's been one of the wettest springs here in recent memory. I got hay and pasture fertilizer on back at the end of February, and I imagine that all the rain since has leached some of the nitrogen out, but if I hadn't have got it on when I did, I probably wouldn't have been able to.

It dried up just enough over this past weekend that I saw some corn being planted Monday afternoon, but it was only one farm that I saw this being done on. It rained Monday night and most of Tuesday, so now it's wet again. Trying to dry up, but supposed to be more rain on the way late in the weekend into next week.

Nice to know that farmers in other places can get some work done.

I'd love to be rained out!


We don't put oats in until September here.

There has been some anhydrous put on around here-and a couple days ago saw a field that had been planted, just on the MO side of the IA/MO state line down here.

We had ice and a dusting of snow here yesterday. 25 degrees this am.

Enough stubble that, that field should hold moisture well..
Are you planting in the disced field?
No-till or regular drill?
Posted By: wabigoon Re: Drilling oats today. - 04/07/20
Great Plains drill with a no till caddy.

Totally ignorant of the process. How many pounds per acre? Or acres per pound?
Posted By: wabigoon Re: Drilling oats today. - 04/08/20
Oats?, Three bushels an acre, 32 pounds to a bushel. Alfalfa seed, 15 pounds.
