Too late???

[land 1]

So with two of my plots failing i ordered WI oats hope they get here mid week the planting dates for the area is up to September 15th,, so i hope i can salvage something,,, never really planted oats do u guys think its to late...

[land 1]

Also ive only used seed that u broadcast and let sit should oats be dragged over...

I don't think it's too late at all, especially since it's going to be 80 until at least November.

As for seeding, you should be fine if you plant before a good rain.  I would probably seed at a pretty heavy rate though.

I say go for it brother. Even if you get 40% germination it's 40% more then letting it sit in the bag.

Seed it and drag over it with something , like a length of chain link fence...Or, at least drive over it with an atv or tractor...

I put wheat in two weeks ago and it is going GANGBUSTERS !!...

I was looking at a wheat/soybean/white clover plot today, that I put in a couple days before Labor day.  I went kind of light on the wheat and I do not see any of that coming up.  It was from an old bag, so the seed may have been bad.   The soybeans are up around 4 " and the white clover is up about 1/4".  Each of those looks like close to 100 % germination.   I never tried oats, but I hear that the deer like them more than wheat or rye.  I am not sure if they can make it thru winter like wheat and rye can however.   I am hoping that it stays above freezing until November, because I know that deer like green soybeans more than almost anything else and my wheat looks like it might be a total loss.

On the plus side, at least without the wheat stealing the nitrogen, the white clover with soybean nurse crop should max out the available nitrogen for followup corn plots.

Well i just ordered a bag of wi oats from amazon soon as it arrives im planting it also got a small amount of left over brassicas ill toss that to,, and see what happens nothing to loose i guess

[LET EM GROW]

Youll be fine as long as you get rain, and it stays warm for a few weeks.. I did them once about 5 days after their printed "planting dates" and i got about 6" of growth. It was perfect. It stayed warm, and had little rain that fall..

Land, you should be ok planting winter cereal rye. It grows just about anywhere until the ground is frozen. Just seeded some this past weekend.

Well i just got done re-planting one of the failed plot it was the larger of the two , pllanted wi oats and after dragging it spread a touch of brassica mix i had left over, I left a small area that had lots of turnips but really no green plants ... We will see what becomes of it

[LET EM GROW]

How heavy did you seed it? Especially being a tad late, id put it down heavy, so it looks like a carpet. in case you only get a few inches of growth..

[land 1]

45lbs of oats on approx 18,000 sq ft... so it was a pretty heavy seeding,,,, 45lbs is good for approx22,000sq ft

[land 1]

Well the oats came up pretty good they are about 3in, the brassicas germinated but are only like an inch high,  Im hoping the oats keep growing till a hard frost maybe get a few more weeks of growth

[G-Man]

you should be good at least till 15th

[land 1]

Well im guessing the oats are done growing now but overall for the late planting im happy with them the deer arnt really hitting them but with these colder temps and everything browning up they should start

[LET EM GROW]

They usually didnt eat mine until a couple of frosts. 

I tasted some of the greens in that blend and they were actually quite sweet in taste.
