    Default What to plant on road?

    I’ve got a roughly 20 acre cutover on my place. I just finished up stumping and clearing a road all the way around it. What can I plant on it right now that will get green quick and stay green through to the spring? I’m mainly wanting to plant it to keep it from washing out so much but would also love it to serve as wildlife plot. I’ve got an island of trees up on a hill in the middle of the cutover and will be able to see the entire road for a few years until the planted pines get too high. Road is 30+ feet long in most places

    Rye grass, cereal rye, wheat, oats, clover or fescue too along with the brassicas....About time to plant any of that or a combination of some of them.

    Don't neglect fertilizer and lime.

    Deer will eat most anything that is fertilized and tender.

    Cereal rye and wheat 50/50. The seed is roughly the same size so you can drill or broadcast together. Or 100% oats.

    Hemp. It’s the big thing nowadays. Danny Ford and Alex English are all over it.

    You could mix some browntop in for erosion control.


    Or...Baha'i grass for turkeys and overseeing with red clover every October for deer.
