where are you at, how big would it be, are you turning new ground or is it an existing field? September is when I plant.

What equipment will you be using? New ground will be tough, especially if it's rocky.

That will make it tough working new ground but it can be done, I started with a 4ft plotmaster and atv. What type of attachments? It can be done but will take some work. I now use this

I am on a game management program with the state, and they have suggested i plant the first week of sept. Now as far as the actual crop i'll probably go with wheat(50lb. bag for 14.95) do to the price vs clover (20lb. bag 34.95). But there are alot of great mixes out there here is a link that might help you out. http://www.mossyoakbiologic.com
