Been there,done that & sprayed for several years killing weeds..And it will fill your plots with so many species of noxious weed, you'll be kicking yourself for planting it.

Knox seed has wheat now.I may have. I had some ground cleared earlier this summer and threw out buck forage oats mostly for erosion control but nothing ever touched it so I'm not sure how it would do in the fall. I've not tried any cereal rye but the co-op has that in stock. I suppose as long as I have some grain to go along with the crimson clover I'll probably be alright.
I called Maryville coop and they said they have it in stock there. I forgot to get a price but the told me they had crimson clover for around $50/50lb which is about $30 less than the other place I checked.Knox seed has wheat now.
That's crazy cheap. I'm usually paying $2.50 to $3.00 per pound.I called Maryville coop and they said they have it in stock there. I forgot to get a price but the told me they had crimson clover for around $50/50lb which is about $30 less than the other place I checked.
Yeah I was surprised. Wheat was $14 and rye was $22. I got two bags of each and a bag of clover and paid $136 taxes included.That's crazy cheap. I'm usually paying $2.50 to $3.00 per pound.

That's an amazing deal.Just picked up 3 ton VNS wheat at KY / American seed in Hopkinsville in bulk bags for $19 per 100 lb
Thats alot of clover!Last week I got 50 lb bags of crimson for $60 each. Oats were 20 a bag.
I'm going to hand it out for Halloween instead of candy.Thats alot of clover!
That's for 20 couple acres for our fall blendThats alot of clover!
You've not seen a lot of clover until you've seen me plant clover! Pour it to it!Thats alot of clover!
Yeah buckwheat has gotten ridiculous...but reading this thread I'm liking the crimson clover prices being reported! Last big bag of crimson we bought was $99.Our local Coop had VNS wheat for $10 and Rye $22 a bag. I hope prices stay low for Spring planting. This past Spring Buckwheat was over $70 per bag.
Blame the YouTube habitat managers. They had every manager in the North believing every plot should be Buckwheat and only Buckwheat. That drove the prices sky high.Our local Coop had VNS wheat for $10 and Rye $22 a bag. I hope prices stay low for Spring planting. This past Spring Buckwheat was over $70 per bag.
I've had trouble finding any information of value on YouTube. But it has helped me realize how impressionable folks are.Blame the YouTube habitat managers. They had every manager in the North believing every plot should be Buckwheat and only Buckwheat. That drove the prices sky high.
I remember a bee keeper in Putnam county that planted buckwheat every year specifically for his bees. He always had good honey. That memory goes back 50 years.Bee keepers are on the buckwheat train too
