Nurse or cover crop. Oats will come up aggressively. Plow & disc one pass, broadcast a heavy population, then one more pass with the disc. For small seed like what is often used, you may want to roll once to firm up, broadcast a heavy population by hand or with something similar that you can control the seed with, then roll and that's it. Soil PH/fertility plays a role, but there's no doubt you know about that. You'll get good shade coverage by both plants. Mow timely, you may want to up the fertilizer, and you may just have to spot spray.

Also a mid summer planting of a legume, same way with a cover crop, you won't have to compete with weeds that would otherwise be in rapid growth like spring and early summer. I've had good luck doing that and was able to get a nice stand of imperial whitetail clover for a few years until the geese wiped it out.

One aggressive mix of plants I have had good luck with is the whitetail institute "No Plow". Prepare a seed bed, even though it needs minimal/no tillage, broadcast by hand with a heavy population, it will beat most if not all of the weeds. It was the best bang for the buck in their product line. I like to seed heavily for plots, then fertilize and or what have you on maintenance once its established. Sounds like you're planting annuals.

Whole oats from a feed/grain supplier are a cheap forage to plant mid summer, will choke out weeds for the spring crop.

Photos are of one of my 4 or 5 plots. Heavy population of oats and no plow planted about a month before. My stand is to the right and center of photos, weaved into a large twin poplar, 3 tiers of scaffold nicely hidden as you cannot see it all summer. The smaller elm next to it died, I'll plant another tree there for cover. Even at that, sometimes at the 250 yd mark in a narrow shooting lane and another plot, they will either see or suspect me in that stand. Other times I can climb up with them in this field using that tree for cover and halting when they look up. There's always an opportunity when you go to this stand in the afternoon.

Good article (click below).

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Journey to Ankeny - by Cindy Ladage. We left Illinois on the first day of July and headed north and west for Ankeny, Iowa. Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny ... [Read Article]
