[QUOTE="Mises, post: 624146, member: 9310"] We also plan on seeding some Canary/clover pasture. We've had trouble in the past with clover smothering out new grass seeding. We plan on Kura clover so we will still seed them together. Kura is hard to establish like Canary. We will spray Butyrac to control broadleaves. We will use a 2.5 bu. per acre cover crop of oats and take it off as silage early boot. Probably get more cuttings. It will be important to stay on task here as we need to reduce competition with the very fragile grass and clover seedlings. I doubt we graze it for at least two years. It is in a place where we can rotate cows out of floods later. I think you should be very careful about draging post seeding to stay shallow. The ground needs to be very even to avoid covering seeds too deep. The cheat is a real problem. If you can let it germinate and spray it with Roundup then no till you can avoid a lot of late germinating seeds caused by the tillage. Cheat comes up pretty early so this could help. Also, mowing it like a lawn shouldn't hurt the new seeding as much a it will allow light to the clover and Canary. I'd also be careful putting any clover out there at all. It is so easy to frost seed or interseed later, it might act as a weed to the grass. [/QUOTE]
