[QUOTE="jdg, post: 1520345, member: 13350"] I'm an hour north of the FL line in GA, so our corn harvest will start in about 7-10 days. My neighbor asked me this same question yesterday...about what to do after corn. I told him the amount of corn regrowth and summer grass and broadleaf "weeds" (including crabgrass sometimes) that will come up in our fields around a month after harvest is usually as good as what you might plant, without a single pass. You just have to be patient to give it time to produce the tonnage. The pearl millet i've planted this late typically tries to head about the time you are ready to graze. The crabgrass might provide you with a longer season, and if you want crabgrass seed in the sward, it is probably a net win. I haven't tried it yet, but i think the brassicas might fit best for this time of year. Just like the crabgrass seed though, most do not want to be deeper than a 1/2", and planting depth in heavy residue can be a little tricky. I'm a big fan of T-raptor (rape/turnip hybrid), for it's quality, regrowth, and vigor...so I might try it with some other brassicas this year....but mostly i'll just stockpile the seed bank that's out there for late september, early october grazing. Here I wait until the 3rd week of September typically to start planting my Spring Oat/ T-raptor fall mix...shooting for a mid-November first graze. [/QUOTE]
