[QUOTE="Oklahomabassin, post: 1594140, member: 1546"] Deer slayer has more knowledge than me. But you can find a fall mix at most co ops. Most is bagged at Johnson Seed in Enid Oklahoma and is around 25 bucks for a 50# bag and will plant a 1/2-1 acre depending on planting method. They have a few different blends. But the bulk is tritical or rye with turnips, rape and a few winter peas. I planted 50 pounds of this last year and then bought a 50# sack of "feed oats" and planted that. Everything did pretty well up until January when moisture was getting thin. Wheat/rye/oats or mixes that contain mostly that will be ok to plant late August if moisture is good and appears that will be there through the next month too. If you can save some to plant mid September it will usually do better because of cooler temps and more rain. You can get a bag of winter peas and plant by themselves but without a little research I cant tell you better planting dates other than same as above. Keep in mind when planting. If using one type of seed exclusively planting it at least as deep as seed diameter or a twice as deep as diameter will yield best results. The mix blends are real easy however. If you work the ground and broadcast seed with a fertilizer spreader and then drag a piece of chain link fence or cattle panel or even a cut cedar tree it will cover the seed adequately. A soil analysis will yield best results but isn't required. If I am planting a higher cost seed mix such as round up ready soy beans in the spring it will be worth a soil sample to me. For the oats, and wheat/winter pea/turnip mix I use a general 16/8/8 or a 20/10/10 fertilizer mix. [/QUOTE]
