L B Thatcher of the Ohio Experiment Station notes patchy meadow stands can be improved at harvest time by reseeding with clover and grass seed, using oats in thin areas, and proper seedbed prep. Broadcasting grass seed early on frost gullied ground may help, while very weedy fields may forego oats and switch to other hay crops. New crops advertised in Ohio warrant caution. contact Wooster or Columbus agronomy departments for information.
