[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5666913, member: 17"] Because I broadcast and then drag (although I'll be switching to cultipacking this year), my seeding rates are high. The standard seeding rates for drilling seed need to be increased by 50% for broadcast seeding. However, when using multiple seed species, cut the poundage per acre by 1/3 for each species when mixing two species. Cut the poundage by half for each species if using 3 or more species. Buckwheat (alone): drilling = 50 lbs/acre; broadcast = 75 lbs/acre Winter Wheat (alone): drilling = 100 lbs/acre; broadcast 150 lbs/acre Austrian Winter peas (alone): drilling = 30 lbs/acre; broadcast = 45 lbs/acre Crimson Clover (alone): drilling = 15 lbs/acre; broadcast = 22.5 lbs/acre Because I'm mixing 3 or more species, each species is cut in half. Buckwheat: 37.5 lbs/acre Winter Wheat: 75 lbs/acre Austrian Winter Peas: 22.5 lbs/acre Crimson Clover: 11.25 lbs/acre For a 3/4 acre plot, multiply all those seeding rates by 0.75 Buckwheat: 28 lbs Winter Wheat: 56 lbs Austrian Winter Peas: 17 lbs Crimson Clover: 8 lbs [/QUOTE]
