<br /> <br />San Miguel County gra~n;l pits - Mine Reclamation - Page 3 <br />I would make the folloiring suggestions for seeding mixtures and rates for <br />each of the sites, on a per-acre basis: <br />Roger Williams - 12 pounds of Nordan crested wheat alone or 5 pounds each of <br />crested wheat and Vinal.l Russian wildrye plus 2 pounds of yellow sweetclover, <br />Sam Hankins - 5 pounds of iVordan crested wheat plus 7 pounds of Ilanchar <br />smooth brome, <br />Bea*rer Mesa - 7 pounds of [",anchar smooth brome plus 10 pounds of Qahe <br />intermediate wheat plus 2 pounds of red clover, <br />Fianulton P9esa - ~ pound:; of I4anchar smooth brome plus 1G pounds of Uahe <br />intermediate wheat plus 2 pounds of yellow sweetclover, <br />All other pits - 1t pounds of TJordan crested wheat plus 5 pounds of Arriba <br />western wheat plus !~ pounds of 'Jina11 Russian Vrildrye plus 2 pounds of <br />yellow sweetclover. <br />As a general rule-of-thumb, we recommend late fall seeding to permit spring <br />germination for non-irrigated plantings.
