It doesn't always work out the way we want...
Here's a 2.5 acre field that was in sorgham, millet, beans, etc this summer, then bushhogged, sprayed, and drilled with rye, radishes, clover, peas, and buckwheat... then 9in rain and it went underwater. Waited 2 weeks to dry out and broadcast rye on top... then it rained 5 more inches and went underwater again.
You can see all the stubble/ stalks in the field plus a few puny radishes scattered. Otw total failure.
The second pic is the same mix on some higher ground. It did OK, but not nearly as good as years past.
I'm thinking hard about planting the failed field in corn next summer and just leaving it standing and not planting it next fall.
