Plant May, June and July. Buy 1 lb. for only $. In tests at the Upper Coastal Plain Substation in Winfield, Auburn researchers planted tropical corn on June 15, and harvested up to 85 bushels per acre. Across the state, at the Sand Mountain Substation in Crossville, researchers recorded up to 65 bushels per acre from tropical corn planted in a rotation with reseeding crimson clover. Yields at the Sand Mountain Substation were reduced by dry weather in August and the earliest frost on record, according to Auburn researcher Wayne Reeves, who is a USDA agronomist and adjunct researcher with the Experiment Station. He noted that preliminary studies indicate that June 7-20 will be good "windows" of planting time in north Alabama for currently available tropical corn varieties. In central and south Alabama, these optimal dates appear to be from June 14 to early July. Be sure to wash your hands after planting or handling any treated seeds!

Cooper's Cattail millet | ||
cattail millet
n : tall grass having cattail like spikes; grown in Africa and Asia for its grain and in the United States chiefly for forage; sometimes used in making beer [syn: pearl millet, bulrush millet, Pennisetum glaucum, Pennisetum Americanum] Marshes are areas of standing water that sustain water-loving plants such as cattail , sedge, arrowhead, bulrush and native grasses. There are no trees in a Marsh. Sedge meadows, wet meadows, prairie pot holes and shallow wetlands are kinds of marshes. Cattail provedes food and shelter for many animals. If you have land that is too wet in spring and too wet to harvest if fall this is your plant. Pearl (Cattail) Cattail MILLET Pearl Millet is grown as a food grain and its stalks used for fodder. Grows exceptionally wall, even on poor dry infertile soils from 5 to 6 feet tall and produces a s@ head from 6 to 1 6 inches long, Good feed and cover for all upland game birds, waterfowl, deer, etc. Grows 6 to 8 feet tall and matures in 3 months. Late spring to early summer Well-drained soil with a pH level of 5.5-6.6 Drill seed at 15 lbs./acre or broadcast at 20-25 lbs./acre Soils Pearl millet, like most crops, thrives best on rich soils, but it is also suited for sandy soils. It tends to produce higher tonnage than the foxtail millets or sudangrass on sandy soils. The crop tolerates poor, infertile soils better than most other crops. Stand Establishment Planting into a firm, mellow, moist seedbed is an important step in successful pearl millet production. Pearl millet seed is small, so shallow planting 1/2 to 1 inch deep into firm seedbed to obtain good seed-to-soil contact is critical. Field trials have shown that when a firm seedbed is lacking, poor emergence is common and stand failures occur. Plant into a weed-free seedbed after all danger of frost is past. A soil temperature of 65 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit is recommended for faster germination and stand establishment. Pearl millet can be planted throughout the growing season if moisture is present for germination. Plant no earlier than late May, with early to mid June recommended. Planting date may depend on whether intended use is hay, silage or pasture. Normally, pearl millet can be grazed four to six weeks after planting. Plant 15 to 20 pounds of seed per acres if solid seeding or broadcasting pearl millet. Seed 7 to 10 pounds per acre if planting in 30 to 42 inch rows. Heavier seeding rates should produce finer stems. Plant in no more than 2 inches of water.

New Rice Seed For Georgia Duck Ponds | ||
A Report on Growing Rice for Ducks in North Georgia Cypress Rice Seed By: Kent Kammermeyer Senior Wildlife Biologist Last summer I was given a bag of domestic rice by William Cooper of Cooper Seed Company in Lawrenceville to test for its growth potential in North Georgia. I have a four-acre pond with a flashboard riser stacked with 6 inch boards. In early July, at full pool, we loaded up the seed and cyclone seeder in my 12 foot semi-V aluminum boat and broadcast the 50 pounds of rice in as shallow water as we could run the boat with electric motor and out to depths of about 1 � feet deep. Then over the course of the next week, I gradually dropped my pond about a foot exposing a half acre of mud and creating another half acre of water less than 6 inches deep. The rice is supposed to germinate in up to 6 inches of clear water and it did. I got a very good stand on the mud flat and in the shallow water. My intention was to raise the water back up to full pool to flood the mud flat again, but I could not do it because of the drought. Nevertheless, the dryland rice did fairly well. In August, when it was thigh high or higher and trying to send up a seed head, I noticed a few stalks floating on the water, then a few more, then a lot. Within a two week period beavers and/or muskrats had cut all the stems at ground level, apparently ate a little of the stem and the rest floated away! What a disappointment! Despite the failure, I'm convinced you can successfully grow domestic rice for ducks in North Georgia if you don't have beavers or muskrats or you can practice beaver and muskrat control (usually trapping or shooting). If you have the critters and can't get rid of them, you may want to stick with the old standby Japanese millet.

SECADA PEAS | ||
![]() |
An exciting new variety of forage peas has hit the U.S. Leafy, highly palatable, self-climbing, with high dry matter yields, SECADA peas can be used in a wide range of applications. A fast growing, cool-season annual legume, SECADA peas perform very well during the fall, winter, and spring in the southern states, with good frost tolerance. In more northern climes, an early spring plant will give high dry matter yields of excellent forage. SILAGE: SECADA peas, mixed with cereals, makes excellent silage. A study comparing Pea/Wheat silage with grass silage showed a 34% increase in forage dry matter intake, resulting in a 19% increase in milk production. Silage is normally cut at the late pod-swell stage for highest yields with the greatest nutrient concentration. GRAZING: SECADA peas can be grazed by most livestock species. Strip grazing will maximize utilization of the crop. With relatively high tannin content, peas are less likely to cause bloat than other legumes, but animals should be introduced to the forage gradually, as with any change of feed. WILDLIFE FOOD PLOTS: SECADA peas are an excellent choice for wildlife food plots. Sown in the early spring, highly palatable forage is available for the energy and protein needs of developing antlers and milking does. Turkey and quail love the soft, tender leaves. Sown in early fall, especially with oats or ryegrass, SECADA PEAS will make fence-jumpers of all your neighbors' deer. SEEDING RATES: Secada peas alone: 80-120 lbs/acre Secada peas/oats: 50-80 lbs/acre peas, 50-80 lbs/acre oats Secada peas/ryegrass: 50-80 lbs/acre peas, 10-15 lbs/acre ryegrass Optimum seedbed conditions will ensure good germination and emergence. Drill the peas about one inch deep. Secada peas will also work well under a minimum tillage situation. 50 LB. BAG $41.95 | |
