I hope to drill some buckwheat along a field edge later this summer
I'm gearing up for another Dove Field planting season....going to plant 40 - 80 acres of gold colored milo this year including the spots where I had sunflowers last year to fight the pigweed issues we had . I'm probably going to plant the milo in 30 inch rows and plan to mow a few rows prior to opening day. Plan to plant strips of sunflowers and millet in small sections of this 160 field.....also have a 6 acre strip of winter wheat inside the milo field that I'll mow and burn before SEPT 1.....I plan to have sunflowers planted under my 4 fake power poles again this year as well as using big round bales scattered around field edges for blinds and shade
Questions : Whats the best way to remove some of the milo plant residue after mowing to give doves access to seed on bare ground ?

If you had pigweed issues last year I doubt milo is going to help at all. Pigweed is hard to control using tillage and chemical especially if you have the water hemp strain.
Finally finished with sunflower planting yesterday afternoon.....ended up with 3 locations totaling 21 acres......still going to plant some blonde colored milo seed next to one of those plots …… also hoping to drill some Brown top and prosso millet around the last flower plot I planted yesterday that has a 30 acre lake next to it.....today I'm back on my 40' air-seeder planting more soybeans
