[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1184824, member: 6291"] If I am planting an oats and rye grass mix, how do you calculate the settings on the planter? The book for this Great Plains no-till says around a 50 setting will give you #30 of oats per acre. It also says a 5 setting will give you #10 of rye grass per acre. Will a 55 setting give me that #60 per acre total if I mix it in the hopper at that ratio? Doesn't have to be exact, but fairly close would be good. Next question. Seed supplier recommended #75-100 per acre of oats and #25 per ac of rye grass. The said if I was going to mix them to do #75 oats and #25 rye per acre. That's seems like a lot of seed? #100 to the acre total for a no-till drill? Broadcasting I could see that maybe but seemed a little on the high side to me. Thanks for the help. [/QUOTE]
