[QUOTE="1982vett, post: 531292, member: 7795"] I looked up seeding rates on the three you mentioned. Tall fescue is 20 - 25, orchard grass is 8 - 12, and tetraploid annual rye is 20 - 25. Add these together and you get 48 - 62. [b]But[/b] these are seeding rates for a pure stand of each in a prepaired seed bed. You mentioned it is already mixed for the conservation district or maybe the person you are getting the seed from can help. I think they could give you better guidance than I could. Only thing I can tell you is that broadcasting takes more seed to get a stand than using a pasture drill and that conditions in here are a lot different . When I overseed pasture with ryegrass, I always figured 10#/acre as some alwasy volunteers. I used a pasture drill last year and got a thick stand. [/QUOTE]
