New Dove regulation?

Hunting Hunting

  1. Can wheat be top sowed, not covered, and hunted?
    Yes, if planted between Oct 1 and Nov 30 according to Clemson
    Extension Service guidelines when evenly spread on well-prepared
    seedbed established with heavy tilling.

Any thoughts on this?

I agree skinneej. Just wondering if I am missing something here. It says you can sow on top without covering. That’s a big change from what it was.

I can see this getting pushed to the limit!

Here are some other laws:

  1. Not to exceed 200lbs per acre
  2. Must be a “well prepared seed bed established by heavy tilling”
  3. Can’t spread seed on the same ground in multiple successions.
  4. Done between Oct 1 - Nov 30
  5. Has to be spread evenly (no piling, clumping, concentrating).

Honestly, I am no farmer, but seems to be able the same amount of effort as planting a field earlier in the year. The only difference is that you don’t have to worry about your “crop” maturing.

Also, from my impression, you could divide a field into thirds (let’s say) and till every other 3 “strip” and then seed that strip according to regulations. Then, when the seed runs out, till up a strip next to it that has not been seeded and then seed that. So, basically using the same field, but not seeding the same ground… In essence only plant the field in 1/3rds a few weeks apart.

Can you dry the seed so it can’t germinate? Just askin.:smiley:

That would not be a "standard agricultural process"!

Farmers dry their seed before they plant it so it won't germinate?

Drying seeds won’t stop germination, unless you cooked them.

^ is correct.

seed is dried before storage in a silo,a standard agricultural process.

I thought that is what he meant: drying them out to the point where they would not germinate (heat).

I believe that would be to the point of roasted seeds… Dang near have to burn them to a crisp before they would not germinate.
