[QUOTE="JSteim, post: 1295477, member: 23791"] We hired the farmer next door to do the planting/disking. All up between two adjacent fields its around 55 acres. A couple of acres of his did not take, about 8-9 acres of our came in as dirt. Same seed, bob oats, on both drilled in at a rate of 90 pounds per acre. Both fields were dry planted late in september, as it was getting late in the season. When it next rained 2-3 weeks later we got about 6 inches over 3-5 days and the fields stayed really wet for a while after that. Only other real difference is his fields were disked the first time 6-8 weeks or so before planting. We were grazing our field down and ours got disked a few weeks before planting. His got a little rain after disking ours did not. I am not looking to find fault or blame. Just want to avoid whatever we did wrong next time around. [/QUOTE]
