Planting Chufa

[TauntoHawk]

Got 4+ acres planted last week. Followed procedure that's worked well in the past. Only thing missing is rain

Following the directions/procedure I do has worked well in the past but man it's labor intensive. Could be a lot easier with 2 tractors going at once

Care to share what your procedure was?

Assuming most guys drill this in

Sprayed gly back in late may. Got a real good kill

Plowed the ground twice

Spread 17-17-17 @ 250lbs/acre

Spray treflan pre emergent @ 1.5 qt/acre

Plow to incorporate fertilizer and pre emergent

Spread seed

Plow to cover seed

Pain in the arse without 2 tractors. Tried to use a Texas hunter utv feeder I have to spread fertilizer and seed but it just dribbled out - didn't sling

44 days since planted. Very healthy crop. Sprayed broad leaf at 27 days. Then clethodim at 47 days for grass.

Looking great. I checked on mine today that got planted last week of June. Not as thick a yours but I was real happy with it given minimal rain since planting. Had 3 gobblers in one of the fields when I pulled in. Zero grass or weed competition

Good news is a real soaker of a storm is moving thru now

I have a bet with a friend about how long it will take the pigs to show up

I planted chufa several times in my place years back with great results.
But now we've got swine ... end of story...
