ORIGINAL: farm hunter

MK-

How many 40 lb bags did it take to plant 15 acres (Maybe 7?)

Did you use an inoculant? I did the 1st couple times but I always forget. I guess once the correct bacteria is in the soil it stays for a while.

Also - Did you band in a fertilizer? If so what & how many lbs/acre.

15 acres is a big plot - do you harvest it?

Looks Great -

20 bags of seed. I planted it at a population of 180,000 plants/acre.

I didn't use an inoculant because this was a clover field for the past several years. If I was planting into existing grass, I would have needed to inoculate the seed.

I fertilized last fall at a rate of 400 lbs/acre.

I won't harvest it. Like I said, I can't hunt it until December, so it has to last a long time. The plot is in Iowa, and I drew a late season tag that doesn't start until December 17th.
