Is anyone here considering planting Teff to augment their summer forage or hay production by sowing Teff?
If NC State hasn't been able to do anything with it I doubt anyone else in the area has either.agmantoo":21qecu5c said:I have the seed on hand but have concerns with getting a stand. I have a precision broadcast type spreader for small seed. It is the question of getting an adequate contact with firm soil. NC State has tried to interseed Teff in existing partial grass stands but had minimal success. I was hoping to hear from someone that has overcome this issue. Certainly in the countries where Teff is grown for human consumption they do not have sophisticated planting equipment yet they manage to get a crop. Any thoughts?
He say the main thing is a good FIRM seed bedagmantoo":2lpu4ikf said:Angus Cowman
Do you know if your neighbor has planted the Teff in previous years and if so how satisfied he was with its performance? He has used it for 4 or 5 yrs and he hays most of it. He also says it like N pretty well I am going to broadcast and I have a cultipacker. Ideally I would like to interseed the Teff in a heavily grazed paddock of various cool season grasses and clover. I am thinking about scuffing the soil with a rotary hoe, seeding and then dragging lightly and packing. Whatcha think? Thanks
