Application / Planting Rate:
20 lbs./acre drilled (1/4″ deep)
25 lbs./acre broadcast (1/4″ deep)
The best planting time is late fall (September-October) when seed will lay dormant until spring. Early spring planting is also sucessful if conditions permit. Summer plantings are successful in the Great Plains if sown before summer monsoons/rainfall.
Best results are obtained when drilled, but broadcasting is the most common method of planting. For best results prepare the soil with some sort of light disturbance such as a harrow. Preparation will vary from sit to site and will depend upon your equipment.
Correct planting depth is crucial to success. Planting too deep may result in failure. Plant no deeper than 1/4″
