[QUOTE="bandit80, post: 582552, member: 7956"] My best experience sowing brome has not been from no-till. I re-established brome a few years ago in a portion of one of my pastures by doing the following. Sprayed the existing grass/weeds in April to kill everything. Planted sudex in early May so I wouldn't lose a year of grazing. Worked the ground in early September after sudex was done for the year. Seeded the brome, and then drilled wheat at a very light rate, I think I did about 30 lbs/acre. The wheat holds the soil while the brome develops it's roots. The following spring I grazed after the wheat had headed out. Most of the brome at that time was thigh high, and some was headed out as well. To this day it is the best stand and highest producing brome I have. My father just sowed some brome and ran his turbo-till over a couple times. Lucky and got some real good rains on it shortly after, and it came up great. [/QUOTE]
