Anyone have any luck drilling KY31 in the spring? In north central Arkansas, would think end of February/1st of March to plant?
No expert but have made all the mistakes.Normally drill Ky31 at 1/2 inch at exactly the time frame you said. Clip the pasture when the heads go to seed (don't clip too close and also unless you are wanting it to mature and reseed the pasture).
Edit: As to clipping, do you mean before you drill or after it is established? Listen to KT more than me, he is the KY31 expert.
If you limed last fall it's unlikely that you will need more yet. Frost seeding clover works ok and it's hit and miss with the fescue. But that would not be done until February or so.Haven't got it back yet. Had one done last summer for a fall NRCS clover deal in the same field. Needed 2 tons of lime per acre and the the fertilizer of course, hoping it doesn't need the lime or as much again. Tried broadcasting some fescue in with the clover, it didn't take.
