Looks like the wheat and oats are popping up after only 6 days of being planted. I'm so pumped!

That plot is ~2.5 to 3 acres.

Check out the progress of another one of my plots. This one is long and narrow and the view is front one of the corners (probably 1.25 acres). Spread 1600# pellet lime then planted with wheat, oats, chicory, and ladino/imperial clover on 9/21. I haven't fertilized yet, planning to do so next weekend with triple 15 or wait til next spring after soil test. The spot close to the cam looks like it didn't take very well. For some reason it holds water. I will probably overseed the thin spots with imperial clover late winter or early spring.

Looking good. Throw ya about 250ibs of 15-15-15 and watch it take off.

I thought I'd share updated pics of one of my plots.

I did fertilize with 300lbs per acre of 17-17-17. I'm planning to fertilize again immediately after turkey season.

My plot progress. I think I'm going to watch and wait before I mow. The wheat and oats have taken off. I'm still shopping for a 3pt sprayer so I can't apply clet til then. pH is 5.7 and 5.3 in these fields so I will probably throw some pellet lime soon. Will wait til early fall before I throw some 0-20-20. Any other suggestions or advice?
