I use a no til hay buster 77c w 7 inch spacing
The beans are just a field variety(I had left over from an ag planting on my west tn farm) mixed w cowpeas and sunflowers
I didn't use any pre emerge/ postemerge chemicals . I disc the ground . Let it sit a week then I disc again lightly.
I fertilized at a rate of 250lbs per acre w
6-24-24
For sunflowers I just threw in some perdovik
I didn't use any chemicals because I have a few places I may cut it under and do some fall plots on
The area below I was leaving open area to plant a fall plot
Oat/wheat/winter pea /clover mix
I drove the planter thru it trying to empty the hopper . Its less than 1acre
It has .75 acre of pure sunflowers to the left of it
It has about 4 acres of corn next to the tree lines surrounding the field like a fence . I do use a post merge on my corn just as you would for field corn It's also fully closed by hardwoods.
It has 3 acres of the bean cow pea sunflower mix
That plot is surrounded by corn
So the deer can't stand in the woods and see into the plot
They must walk thru all the corn to see the inner plots in full sight from stands.
Right beside the beans peas sunflower is a .75ac plot of sunflowers and the .75 ac fall plot I'll put in sept
My corn is clean clean!
