If I spray a few fields using round up to kill everything off how long should I wait before planting Pearl Millet ? I looked all over but no definitive answer.

I agree I stopped spraying pastures.. this is what I got.. this is why I want to spray then disc or I can use a drill and not disc. Opinions?
I have a good bit of voluntary oats In there

kentuckyguy... anyone around you that rents no tills? try the seed guys.. I know southern states has a few they rent out and also I know a amish guy that I used to rent one from who was a seed salesman..
$10.00 / ac is what I paid.
