[quote="CVPost-Jon f mn"](quoted from post at 00:54:41 01/14/18) Don't know what seed to use yet. There is a market for wheat at a local miller.
=====================
One thing you need to know, but was not mentioned by anyone: Best reason for a soil test is so you know the "PH" of your soil...the acidity level, which is corrected by any needed lime. Fert is not as effective if the PH is not at proper level. Only way to find that out is TAKE A SOIL TEST.
A soil test is like getting a road map for a new destination, Adding any lime is like tuning the motor. The fert is like adding clean oil and gas. Then maybe the motor will run properly as long as you do the applications and seeding at the proper times..
When frost is out and field is dry, grab a plastic pail (not a galvanized one) and a spade. Walk randomly over the field, taking small 4-6 inch deep slices (don't take soil from near a gravel road or some small spot where livestock used to stand for days), stir the soil good, put a sample in the bag you will have gotten from the fert dealer or county ag agent, or even that local miller. When you get the results back, talk to someone who knows more than you do on how to diagnose the results (anyone who does NOT know more than you is of no help to you, adding amateurs to the mix does not make it better).

PS Soil near a gravel road...all that dust from traffic will often raise the PH to high levels along that road, affecting the PH reading of the field average..

The colony remained far from self-supporting and it was not until the early 1800's that things started to improve. Free settlers started to arrive, they followed the explorers across the mountains and where land was suitable set up farms. T
