without taking soil samples, need input on what to put out. Applied lime (liquid) in late oct, seeded, then a week later fertilized. Its been about a month. Sandy loam soil type. Not well drained, but not holding water yet, but have had some good rains. Winter wheat , oats, turnups, radishes. 1/8 acre. Getting hit pretty hard for the first time in years. note: I don't put herbicide out. This is part of a hay field during summer months. Just disc and cover seed with gate. e. Texas Trinity county 75% sun
thanks

Most of the time when they're yellow it's due to too much fertilizer. With such a small plot, I wouldn't throw good money after bad. Just let it rain and grow and get a soil sample next year.

Mine did the same !
Too much fertilizer, but now it’s growing like crazy, after a couple of weeks yellowing.
Noticed it was on the highest points the most.

If it receives plenty of moisture, I can’t imagine putting out too much fertilizer. Guess it could happen. If it’s an existing hay field, my guess is the hay grass is getting frostbite.
