A Crop Page

the first one. i could see the second one possibly getting mistaken for corn.

I used the first one and put it in the forage or grain section with a second scroll over pic as the grain.

I have added a planting rate chart I found to the page. It tells not only the planting rates but, if they are cool or warm, etc. crops and when to plant them.

What do you guys think of it? Should it stay or go?

leave the planting chart in.it will greatly help the people here at bycows.

 

[Farmer Kitty]

I will then. I thought it would be beneficial but, wanted a second opinion. Thank you.

we use rye seed as a compaction buster and for plow down nitrogen plus the straw for feed. A pea and oat combination works for a new seeding cover crop here. they are not on the list regular Oats could be added

 

[Farmer Kitty]

Peas can be mixed with oats or tritical for crop cover here. I don't have any of the mixes on--not really sure about putting them on because you get into the, "we mix oats and this or that" type of thing then.

Regular oats are listed under forage or grain.

I will see about adding the winter rye.

BTW-

Could I get you to put your location in your profile? Sometimes answers to questions depend on what part of the country you are from. Just the state is fine.
