[QUOTE="gman4691, post: 1831572, member: 43107"] We've done both over the years on small patches for oats (during deer season) and large pastures with rye...the rye grass in the hay pastures has come back every year for as long as I can remember. The plots with oats had to be replanted every year. This is in east Texas. I have read that oats germinate best when soil temperatures are at about 50 degrees...they can germinate at 45 degrees but 50 is better...at least in Texas. However, the guy that bales my hay has planted a mixture of oats and wheat this year for winter grazing due to the low yield of hay (the drought was rough this year). The rye we planted was just broadcast on the ground and it comes up pretty good given decent rainfall. We ran a disc over the small plots where we wanted to plant oats and they did pretty good...again, dependent upon rainfall. [/QUOTE]
