When seeding oats mixes what is the best do you think? Late June, early July planting dates: Oats & alfalfa mix, Oats & winter peas, Oats& Brassica ex: Rape, radish, turnip |

I have done oats overseeding clover and it did quite well on a small 1/3 acre plot in NW Ontario. Worked up area with quads. I also overseeded oats on clover and alfalfa and that did fantastic as well. That was on about 2 acres done by tractor. In both cases planting was done in early to mid June. Not sure if that helps at all? What are you planning for this year. |

Why I'm asking is I seeded oats once side by side with corn& soybeans6-8 acre plot.. Oats was not touched . This year my neighbor across the road broke up a 30 acre old hay meadow, he put oats in. He had about 17 deer a night. Most of the deer feeding on my side jumped across over there. I had nice corn cobs, radishes... I don't know if he had a mix with it. As of last week they still were hitting the standing oats. The only wild card is that he has about 80 acres of willow adjacent where I think the bucks & does were holding up in there breeding. That doesnt make any sense to continue through out Dec though. So I was planning on maybe giving oats a try again... |
