I have a brassica, rye, plot that I planted last fall. I also put clover in it. The turnips and radishes were devoured. I would like to frost seed and turn it in to a clover plot. Would I be able to spray imox on it this year without hurting the young clover?
Yes you can. I would definitely throw more clover in there in march or so to frost seed then let everything establish and sometime in late June spray it with iMox wait 2 weeks then mow it out
Hey man - I love your videos. Quick question - Penn State did a study on frost seeding red clover into existing hay or wheat pastures. I have some great quality orchard grass in an apple orchard and an open hay field. I have roughly 50 lbs of red clover I plan on using up from my farmer buddy. Still recommend tilling before frost seeding? Or can I just up the lbs per acre? The study at Penn university is interesting but I’d like your opinion as well! Thanks again dude - you rock.
@@zdubs2957 you can do that for sure but don’t expect amazing results. I’ve done it several times and have a few videos doing it. Best best is to double the rate and make sure you actually have areas you can see soil and do it in the dead of winter so it has time to work its way into the soil. Even then once green up hits in spring what’s there will green up first and take over and shade out the clover and a lot of it won’t survive. If you do it for a couple years eventually clover will start to take. Once you get it established then you could start using herbicides to kill the grasses and allow more of the clover to take over.
@ thanks man. I’d like to get this 2-3 acres established nice for next year. So I’ll just use the tractor to roto it down in June and plant normally. I got a brassica plot I was gunna hit with comeback kid. I’ll frost seed that. Appreciate your response!
"prepared soil" - not sure exactly what this means - getting ready to try and turn perimeter grass around our ag fields into clover - do we need to till first?
I’m in Minnesota we have no snow and for the next 7 days we have highs of 48 lows 20 We probably will get more snow and green up in not till April Will the seed be fine if I do it now?
Probably not. You have many months before you should be frost seeding. Where you are I would say mid to end of march would be best. You don’t want it sitting there dormant for months on end.
@@WatertoWallReplicas that’s where my farm is. My clover is coming up as well but I would frost seed it now then spray later on. There’s still another good 4-6 weeks before things really get gling
I have Hot Chic in a plot now and you mention not frost seeding in an “unprepared” seed bed. Does that mean I should disc up the hot chick, or rough it up with a harrow to just scratch it up, or just go right into the Hot Chic?
No sir. A unprepared seed bed would be a grass field or some weed infested area that hasn’t had anything done to it. A prepared seed bed would be last years brassicas plot for example. If you have hot chic planted now from last year that’s a perfect opportunity to frost seed come back kid into it. In fact that’s what domain recommends. Planting hot chic first then frost seeding comeback kid into it.
Look at your forecast. Look for freeze and thaw. I know it’s Been warm that way. If you happen to miss “frost seeding” it’s not the end of world. Just plant as normal at that point

Good job. I’ve been frost seeding in a low cut grass field and the clover pops up. I mow 3-4 times a season. But the 4-18 deer keep it down.
Very nice
Good stuff!
Thank you

If my plot from last year was clover and has clover growing now, but has some grasses as well. Do I herbicide and then dead or seed and then herbicide
What state is this?
@@Whitetailobsessionoutdoors western PA

@@Whitetailobsessionoutdoors I could always re seed I guess if it doesn’t take due to weeds. We just got snow again today. Gotta love PA weather

Excellent! Thanks for the info!!
@@HowardTibsTheThird your welcome
What about in the lower part of Missouri close to the Arkansas line
Look at your forecast. Look for freeze and thaw.

@@Whitetailobsessionoutdoors ok thanks
👍👍
🍀👊
Could you frost seed into last years soybean plot?
Yes for can for sure. Once it establishes you can control weeds with iMox and mowing
