It is great to see someone get a start.I rented my first 30 acers the year I got out of school.I would recomend that you go in and spray roundup and 2-4D a month before you fall plow.This cleans up the feild and allows for a better plowing job.Get a soil test as well if you are planning on clover or alfalfa in the seed mix you may need lime and this much better if fall applied.If lots of lime is needed apply half before plowing then the rest after.Lime is very important as it makes the plants healthy and inables fertlizer and spry to work better.Plant your oats as early as possible in the spring as they prefer cool weather.Try to find a short varity because if they go down they can be very hard on the underneath seeding.I farm high fertility soils so we prefer to harvest the oats as silage or balage to prevent seeding damage.Do you have a combine or can you hire it done? My area is all big farmers and getting someone to cut small grain can be a problem.Depending on where you are located the straw can be very valuable as well.Good luck Tom
