[QUOTE="JMJ Farms, post: 1534060, member: 24583"] Redlevel, I’m about 60 miles south of Macon. It was 89 here today. I’m in the same boat as you. Calendar says go but the weather says wait. I just got through chiseling and harrowing about 8:30 tonight. Now I’m gonna let it sit there for at least another week and maybe two. Moisture is marginal here as well. But it’s still just too hot. I will plant rye or oats when daytime temps are 90. But there has to be a 30 degree difference in day vs night temps before I plant when it’s this hot. And right now we don’t have but about 20 degrees different here. That’s just my rule of thumb that I picked up somewhere along the way and it’s always worked for me. As far as overseeding, my Bermuda is a good ways from being dormant. I probably won’t overseed with ryegrass until early December. I’ve had pretty good results with the Tamtbo ryegrass. I still like Marshall best. Long story short, spreader truck didn’t overlap my seed last year and I wound up drilling strips of Triticale that they gave me where they messed up. Cows would eat it before the rye or oats or ryegrass. But I didn’t have a big enough spot to be able to accurately test how it would hold up under grazing pressure. [/QUOTE]
