[QUOTE="TRHC, post: 2794877, member: 4485"] I planted quite a bit of NWSGs for our landowner a few years ago. I was instructed by our NRCS personnell to wait until late May or early June. It was fairly hot and dry by that time. It's certainly not too late for you to plant. It's actually early from my experience. If you go with NWSGs, be prepared for your fields to be mostly dirt for the first year or two (adding forbs may help). NWSGs are very slow to establish and your plots may look like a total failure the first year. Give it time and you will be well pleased. Our mix was switchgrass and Indian grass. The deer love to bed in it and the quail and turkeys nest there. TRHC. [/QUOTE]
