My 746 finally decided to show up today. So I'm 12/12 on germination which is a nice thing to have. A few seeds came up a little janky so I may have some dropping out of the race early, but for the most part it's close!

Also, out in the patch I tried mowing over my rye which began to grow rather agressively once it got warmer. Mower deck couldn't handle it and ripped the belt in two. I have another one on the way but I'm going to have to approach that a little at a time I can see. I've seen people like Mike Schmidt actually knock over the rye and spray it to kill it before mowing or tilling it in. Part of me thinks it would be more beneficial to cut it down live before tilling it in, however difficult that's going to be.
