The second group sites includes: • <br />9k4 - Duel1 - SWc 36-T9N-R61W <br />~~5 - Government ~~l - SW< 2, NW34 11-T10N_R64W <br />1l6 - Government ~~2 - SE's 1-T10N-R57W <br />~~9 - Walker - NE< 30-T8N-R57W <br />9k10 - Younglund - SE'Z 6-T10N-R57W <br />The soils on this site are typically gravelly and porous,~and the species <br />and rates to be seeded are as follows: <br />Species Variety % in Mixture Seeding Rate <br />Blue grams Covington 20 0.6 lbs/Ac PLS <br />Sideoats grams Vaughn 50 4.5 lbs/Ac PLS <br />Little bluestem Pastura 30 2.1 lbs/Ac PLS <br />7.2 lbs/Ac PLS <br />The seed should be planted to a depth of lj2 to 3/4 inch deep using a grass <br />drill equipped with a feeding mechanism and agitator, double disk furrow <br />openers and packer wheels. A straw or hay mulch should be applied at the <br />rate of 4,000 lbs/Ac and should be crimped into the soil to prevent blowing. <br />Other methods of mulching are acceptable and I have enclosed a copy of our <br />mulching standards and specifications for your information. <br />Prior to the actual seeding, fertilizer should be applied at a rate of 40 <br />lbs Phosphorous and 40 lbs Nitrogen per acre. <br />Seeding should be done in the fall of the year, usually after October 31st, <br />when the ground is sufficiently cold enough to prevent germination before the <br />next year's growing season, or in the spring prior to the 15th of April to <br />insure adequate soil moisture. <br />If a grass drill is not available and a broadcast method of seeding is used, <br />the seeding rate should be doubled and the seed should then be hand raked <br />into the soil to insure good seed to soil contact. <br />If possible, all areas should have topsoil applied aE a depth of 6 to 8 inches <br />before reseeding. Critical areas should be protected from any disturbing influ- <br />ences for at least one full year or until vegetation has established itself. <br />If you have any questions, please feel free to contact this office. <br />C incerely <br />Ronald D.
