                  I chickened out! My original plan was to drill joint vetch and Alyce clover in to standing crimson clover thatch. At the last minute I decided to disc the clover under and cultipak. Then broadcast the seed with 4 wheeler and spreader I can control very accurately. Will cultipak again after spreading. Main reason is the vetch seed is very small and expensive. Was uncomfortable putting it in drill. I know this method works as I have used it before. The crimson has basically died out so it should reseed this winter which is what I want. Planting will take place later next week.

                            Spraying clover fields with Axial today. Axial is rye grass specific herbicide which for us works faster and more effective than Section. Left unaddressed over time the rye grass gets so thick it will start smothering clover. PLan to start planting tomorrow as it looks like the rains missed us today.

                                In the mean time the clover is doing fantastic. Thus no gaps in annual nutrition. Here is an 11 acre field planted in Durano clover. Hard to see but there is a row of fruit trees planted along one edge. About a dozen apple and pear trees of various varieties. There are clover fields scattered all over the farm.
