[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 7133657, member: 86168"] we have been putting 1/2 kg, chickory and plantain, time will tell. One thing i have noticed, probably because we are sowing some, there's a lot of 'wild' plantain about, must be well represented in the seed bank ! Several years ago, using a different spray programme on maize, when cut, we had 28 acres of wild plantain ! if only we knew what we had !! Vetches, we have overseeded, with clover and grass, at 1 kg, very active growth, but think the seed rate was to low, pretty sparse, not sure how it will stand grazing, but we operate, an in/out policy, virtually nothing has more than 3 grazing feeds, till now, when the dry cows are mob stocked. However, we are going to try, 5kg acre, with some of our hybrid rye, to see if we can up the protein in the silage. I have very bad memories of growing oats and vetches, that were horizontal !!! We sowed some special dry mix ley, containing cocksfoot, fesques, timothy, and several prg, with a good kg of w clover, slow to get going, but looking good now, the grass leaves, appear a lot 'finer' than PRG, but reps did not want to sell us cocksfoot !! Should be fine, if managed correctly, since heard of someone, who has overseeded most of his grass, at 4 kg/ac. The proof, as always, is how much is in the bulk tank ! We are getting quite good, at which fields, the milk goes up, a very good lesson to learn !! going off subject, seen a few mushrooms, in fields, i haven't seen any for decades ! Hoping, this is a good sign of improving the soil. [/QUOTE]
