King City, Mo | Where's the chicken litter?
After disking up sod last summer and seeding peas and vetch early fall and getting next to nothing for a stand I'm really disappointed in the legumes as those seeds weren't cheap and no free replant seed was offered either.
I'd kill the sod. Plant a mix of Sudex, soybeans, and turnips. The tonnage from the sudex even at lower protien levels will be like growing nitrogen.
Aka 1000# @10% protien is 100# protien an acre that's 16% nitrogen so 16# of N per 1000# biomass grown with the sudex. Plus it's cheap to seed. If you watch the acid deal around when it frosts you can grass it and cycle those nutrients.
Soybeans are something you know will grow but planting late will keep the nutrients in the leaves vrs going to seed.
Turnips are a good insurance policy as nothing else may come up but the $4-8 of turnips I seeded so atleast something is growing sorta back up plan.
