Default RE: Quaker Boy Northern Forage?

Quaker boy seed is good stuff. The planting rate is 12lbs per acre so you have lots for just around stands. basically you want seed to soil contact so by raking an area clear of brush and leaves(you may need to spray with a herbicide if there is lots of vegitation), broadcast the seed and then pack it in, not too deep, atv driven over the area works well. You want atleast 4 hours of direct sunlight/day. Don't over seed the area as it will stress the plants and they will be small. This stuff works way better if planted in late summer versus a spring planting. Here are some pics of the same mixture from our place last year, sold under the Bishops name in Canada.
