[QUOTE="BK9954, post: 1528275, member: 23651"] My soil was pretty hard but Monday brod cast oats over some pastures before the rain hit. Got 1.7" of slow drizzle rain and the top soils softened. After that seeded everywhere I had open ground, around all senderos, roads, fenclines, around all mesquites, anywhere the sun had pushed away the grass and anywhere I had sprayed Erasure this spring. In the last 2 days another 3" of rain and it's still going. The first round of oats are rooting and growing green and the second is germinating and taking root. I over seed and probably don't get the best germination rate but it gives the cows something green over the winter to graze. Done it a few years ago with decent results. THE BAD THING THIS YEAR IS EVERY COW PATTY IS FULL OF MESQUITE BEANS AND SPROUTING NOW. The cows feasted on those while there was no pasture this summer. My grass is coming back, already a few inches up. God bless the rain. Neighbor is going to get a fall cutting of hay. [/QUOTE]
