Winter wheat/clover plot

[Pygmy]

I planted it August 31...It is turning a nice light green now ....I also had about 20 pounds of buckwheat seed that was given to me by a friend, so I seeded that right on top...The BW is up about an inch now and will probably be promptly mowed down by the deer, but what the heck...

I plan to buy a bag of rye seed and seed over any sparse or bare spots that may develop...Looking good so far..Hope we get enough rain to maintain it...

That buckwheat is tough stuff.  I bush hogged some that was no where near ripe (still in the white flower stage) a few weeks ago, then went over it a few times with a disk.  That "unripe" buckwheat sprouted pretty thick.  I buried it again today with a drag prior to seeding wheat/soybean/white clover mix.

Glad to hear it MR Pygmy! Buckwheat will be a big draw until frost. a 25 acre field of buckwheat next to me has been annihilated, as well as a 18 acre soybean field.. neither field got over 15" tall.
