[QUOTE="MoGal, post: 590002, member: 1346"] Hello all, I am returning to farming after a 20 year absence. I am considering planting some wheat or maybe wheat/rye mixture in a couple of played out alfalfa patches. Is it about the right time of year? [b]Hubby says you're about 2 weeks late[/b] Will the wheat establish itself quickly enough to prevent erosion. [b]yes, if you get it done soon[/b] If I disc the patch, broadcast the seed then cultipack it will that work? [b]yes[/b] What month next spring could I expect to bale the wheat? [b]1st of May[/b] Could I sow clover into the wheat in February? [b]hubby says not a good idea[/b] I baled some volunteer wheat of a neighbor's this spring and the cattle are wild about it. Are there any other winter crops I should consider? [b]this time of year you could possibly still sew some rye and could possibly cut it late april depending on what kind of spring we have[/b] [/QUOTE]
