i have about 6 acres of picked soybean ground on my new place that I'll be planting to food plots this year. Roughly 1/3 will be a clover/chicory/alfalfa blend with an oat nurse crop that I'll plant in April, 1/3 will be some type of an annual mix for pheasants and deer (likely milo, corn and maybe some cow peas or sunn hemp), and another 1/3 will be brassicas planted in July.
This ground is somewhat hilly, so erosion on the picked beans is a concern. The clover/oat blend in April is pretty straight forward, but I'm considering broadcasting oats on the bean stubble in the areas that will be planted in June and July as a cover crop. Any pros or cons to that oat cover crop plan?
My pheasant seed blend will be disked in using an ATV disk, so I'm a little concerned that the oat residue might cause problems with that plan.
My brassicas will be broadcast in the sprayed oat stubble without tillage, so I don't have any concerns with the cover crop in that plan but I would like a second opinion.
