I don't have any real measurement for distributing the oats. I put out the recommended amount of clover per acre first for whatever clover I am using and then go over it with the oats. I use a handspreader for this and it makes it easier to tell exactly what your putting down. The oat seed is very easy to see so I just kinda go by eye as far as how much I put down. I don't put it down real thick but I don't go real thin either. My main concern is not to rob to much nutrients and moisture from the clover but still get enough oats down to cover. You can kinda tell in some of my pics of the spacing in the oats if that helps. I have never used BFO but I'm sure your right they will be a excellent fall draw. I plan on replanting some certified oat seed again this fall also. Good Luck to ya WV
