Got a couple of questions concerning a couple of my hay fields. I planted a new seeding of timothy and clover last year with some oats. It got planted late and was a very dry summer and it did very poorly last year, including a poor crop of oats. It didn't give much hay this year. I had a similar field planted 3 years ago that wasn't as good as it could have been and much of it died out over the winter. Has anybody had succes fall top seading fields like these with at least timothy. I live in western NY and I know fall is a good time to plow and plant hay but I'm hoping to avoid the cost of plowing. However I don't want to throw good seed on a bad field either.

Check with your local extension service for recommendations. Your taxes are paying for them, so use them. I'd suggest you go to your local Co-Op or other farm supplier and rent a no till drill. They are cheap to rent, as they do it to sell the seed.

Where are you at in Western NY?? If you have the field all smoothed out already from the last planting, then do not plow it again. If I were you, I would no-till plant your seed in there. Depending on where you are located, you might be able to rent a no-till drill. It is a lot less wrok and time, and you can get on the field in the summer.

I know nothing about N.Y. State or timothy, but if your PH is in good shape in Southwest Mo. I have had very good luck with just a plain grain drill, drilling red clover in fescue sod in Feb, or March.
