I would probably recommend the millet as the first choice of <br />annual cover then wheat or oats. Areas to be seeded should be as weed <br />free as possible reducing completion for establishment of temporary <br />cover. <br />If you have any questions regarding this information give me a call. <br />Brian Johnson <br />District Conservationist <br />10/28/2008
