[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1184831, member: 9096"] When we do cover crop oats or barley, we do about 40 lb/ac.. If seeding for a grain harvest, we do about 60-70 lb... 100 lb/acre does sound like a whole lot... It is logical that he wants to sell you seed! A lot will depend on the germination conditions, if you're expecting good germination (we irrigate to get the results), I think our rate may be sufficient, if you'd going to have less germination, you'll need to increase the rate proportionally, so perhaps 100 is OK. Since the ryegrass is a small seed, I think it may not affect the oat seeding rate much at all, I'd go a smidge above what the recommended setting is for your target on the oats... I have no experience with that drill, but if a 50 setting is 30 lb/ac of oats, you're going to have to open it way up to get anywhere close to 100 lb/ac.. [/QUOTE]
