[QUOTE="JMJ Farms, post: 1526045, member: 24583"] I’m with you on this one Fence. I like incorporating the fertilizer. And if you incorporate it (harrowing, disking) you won’t have to worry about N loss. 30 units of N isn’t that much so it’s not gonna hurt the young seedlings. I also like Grits suggestion of blending a little extra seed and fertilizer and then harrowing it in. One pass to spread. One to cover it up. I use this method a lot if I’m not no tilling. And I also understand well the need to do some things when you can even if it’s not ideal. We have no control over the weather but I try to make sure I have enough moisture to germinate the seed when I plant. If you plant it and then only get a 1/10th or two it’s liable to germinate and then die from lack of moisture. But sometimes you gotta take a chance and do what you gotta do. I want to plant some oats and rye but it would die bc it’s still too hot here and the armyworms would still be a threat. Not to mention it’s pretty dry here. Always is this time of year it seems.
