Dan, The Hay field is ten acres with a 10 acre horse pasture to the south of it. The previous 2 years we had 10 ton put on it. (The pasture was done the same.) Prior to putting in t he clover plot, I split 1,000 lbs between it and 2 other plots. From the test I guess I should have put it all on the other plots. One plot, right in the center of the timber has done very well. It was a staging area when wehad Pines cut. I burned all the Pine needles, Oak leaves and the other residue. It' s doing real well, haardly any weeds (some Poke weed) and no grass. The other plot didn' t do well, lots of weeds and with a spell of hot, dry weather is almost gone. It' s in a good location but it will need a lot of work before I replant. I had planted a quarter acre of rec Clover beside the White where the test was taken. The deer have completely ate it up, I am now mowing that spot and only see a sprig here and there. Will disc and till it up and try some Austrian peas there. The local Coop has a 50 lb. bag for $15. Plan on putting down 3X13. That sound about right?
