| 2025-03-25 | KBS | Frost seed prairie seed blend at 36 pounds per acre. This is to establish ASP6R5 with the original target seeding rate of 5.19 lbs. per acre prairie seed (4 lbs. pure live seed) and 25 lbs. per acre oat and annual rye cover crop, plus 20% for an assumed loss of germination during three years of storage. |

Rep1: east 1/3 of plot, and Rep 3: 2/3 of plot (east and west thirds) we overseeded because slugs from adjacent corn plots had damaged the August 14 planting. Rep5 was planted at this time because plot layout was still developing in 2024. |
| 2025-03-19 | KBS | Prep rep 5 plots for planting with cultipacker. ASP2 was with packing wheels only to level and smooth area for forage planting. ASP6 had shovels engaged at a depth of 1-2" do deal with a few winter annuals, prepping for prairie planting. |
