Me and 3 friends just got done planting some summer plots on our local lease in south MS. The lease manager is a big believer in spending the $$$ on plots if we are willing to put in the time.
3 plots varying from about 1/3 an acre to 1/2 acre. Plots were disked 2w ago. We redisked, planted beans, corn, sunflowers then lightly disked those in. Came back and spread fertilizer and brown top millet then drug than in with a chain drag weighted down.
Like I said, manager didn't want to skimp... we put the equivalent of 500lbs beans, 60lbs corn, 50lbs sunflowers, and 20lbs millet per acre. Plus 400lbs triple 13 per acre. Be interesting to see what this seeding rate does!
Excellent seedbed... just need rain! I'm sure the deer will devour the beans on these small plots. Hopefully the millet makes it for the turkeys, quail, and doves
