Subject: RE: Jim, the rye he talks will start now, thus


New Mexico
helps as a cover crop.

Some legumes, vetch , grazing alfalfa etc on too, grows your own fertilizer ( N ) boosts the grass etc.

Maybe a shot of P / K would be good...everything starts better with some P.

Fall or frost seeding works best with the grass seeds, vs legumes, however....there's alot of legume seeds per lb ( up to 350,000 on some of em ) sooo by the seed legumes are cheap thus put some on now with the grass and there's a 70% chance of over a 50% germ rate on those.

Then next spring if guy wants too, just touch it up with a few more broadcast legume seeds....drag it and done.

With the rye in there...that should provide some winter grazing and ALOT of grazing come spring thus just graze strait thru, and the new seeds come on thru the rye, protected by the fact rye got the jump thus gets grazed first / higher etc.

Black dirt grows nothing for a couple months till things are rooted enough for grazing, niether does waiting.
