I would probably recommend the millet as <br />the first choice of annual cover then wheat or oats. Areas to be seeded should be as weed free as possible reducing <br />completion for establishment of temporary cover. <br />If you have any questions regarding this information give me a call. <br />Brian Johnson <br />District Conservationist <br /> <br />1
