[QUOTE="Steve Wilson, post: 670837, member: 8362"] Forgot to mention. Yes, using a mower with a conditioner would be very advisable. Crimping the stems will make it dry much faster. I'm figuring for a good 3 days of drying with ours, that's with leaving a 6 inch stubble to help hold it up off the ground and to aid in it tillering out again. Without a conditioner it might take another day or two to dry properly. I paid $40 per 50 pound bag of Tiffleaf3, which will do 3 acres when drilled at around 15 pounds per acre. Broadcast rates are 30 - 40 pounds per acre. So, even at having to pay $10 per acre to rent the county's no till drill, I'm still ahead. Figure 50 units of nitrogen and whatever P & K you need. 30-20-20 of Super Urea cost me $34 an acre. I added another 30-10-10 of ammonium nitrate a month later, at the time of planting.. I want to say that was $27 an acre. 2,4, D was about $12 or $14 an acre. [/QUOTE]
