Interpretation????

[wtretrievers]

Can anyone interprete this? I've got a call in to my buddy thats a Game Warden, waiting on his call to see what he comes up with.

The part........"Must wheat be sown on prepared ground" under heading "Questions frequently asked about baiting"

[Gerald]

The print is tooooooo small to read.

Do you have a link?

Try that.......shows up fine for me

All that means is you don't have to plow and make rows... But you have to plant the whole area not just little clumps of wheat

[Gerald]

Must wheat be sown on prepared ground?

No. Wheatcan be no-till drilled into unprepared ground. Also, overseeding
of wheat or rye prior to harvesting soybeans,
corn or cotton to establish a cover crop is recognized as a

normal agricultural practice

.

I don't know what "no-till drilled" means. Is that using something like a "Sheeps-foot" to press the seeds down into the ground.
If so, looks like you can spread wheat seeds on the ground.....as long as you "drill" some or most of the seeds into the ground.
I know they make a tool to loosen up the soil in your yard. It is a metal drum with spikes ~ 1.5" long. You roll it across your yard. This is suppose to help the grass to grow better.

Don't know what that means either

We have tons of goat weed & plenty of birds, jumped probably at least 75 off the ground at 2pm Sunday, if theres that many on the ground at 2pm, no telling how many were roosted in the trees around. Was just reading & was wondering what that meant. Fixin to bust out the ol google on "no-till drilled". They can word stuff to where it can be interpreted several different ways. That's how they git ya!

A no till drill is similar to that it allows you to drill the seats in the ground instead of broadcasting them so you have a higher germination rate the height is adjustable for different kinds of crops

[Is it October YET?]

I have one of those lawn aerators if you need it. Just hook it the the 4 wheeler and it takes plugs out of the ground.

So what they're saying is you have to put the seed in the ground but they are not making you prepare the seed bed you can just drill to seed into the ground... Hence the name no till drill.

Yeah.......I found the no till drill implements on google. It basically mashes the the seed in the ground. EXPENSIVE!!!!!! WOO!!!!!!

The dove baiting issue is a sticky wicket. I have a buddy who plants millet and sunflowers every year. He has gotten different interpretations from different LDWF agents. Try to talk to the Enforcement agents in your area - they are the ones that you are most likely to have to deal with. You are generally OK if you plant the seeds so the birds can't eat them-plow them under. Also, you will have better success if you give the doves bare ground to light on next to your food strip.

No till means it doesn't have to be plowed.

Drilling is to make sure you aren't just broadcasting wheat the day before you go out there.

It must be planted

Bushhog your GoatWeed and don't worry about the wheat. When planted correctly (500#/acre) wheat is very a consistant at producer.

That's what we always do.....was just reading that & was curious.
Ever heard goat weed pop? The seeds will actually pop out. When it's doing that no need in bushhogging, cause they're coming! Still bushhog a few strips for the birds to get on clean ground & makes it easier see where they go down.

[Raymond]

If you rake it and then control burn you should have more doves.

[yak'em-n-stack'em]

Just curious? Why are you planting 500# per acre. I've never heard of that high of a rate

Read between the lines Yakem, years ago some people leased a farm from people I know very well and they used that formula for wheat Ended up having a jam up shoot after the planting.

[yak'em-n-stack'em]

hahaha

ok i was wondering because that is almost 5 times the normal recommendation for wheat haha


i was like, it impossible to use that much wheat in an acre unless your row spacing is like 1/2 inch apart and then you would have terrible lodging


but i smell what your putting out
hahaha
