When should Broadside be broadcast in northern Indiana?

Question
It is time in Northern Indiana to broadcast Broadside in our eagle seed beans. I have a half acre of eagle seed beans how much Broadside do I use? Do I use a half acres worth or less? Azar (aka Big Boy) would like to know! See Pic.
Broadside does best when it’s planted 45 – 60 days before the first hard frost. None of us can predict when the first frost will occur each fall so the best we can do is use the average first frost date for each area. The average first frost date for northern Indiana is around the 2nd week of October. Based on this average I suggest broadcasting the Broadside blend during mid August or so. I would wait until there is a good chance of rain in the forecast. The broadcast planting technique works best if the seed are spread just before (or even during) a rain.
We’ll be planting Broadside at The Proving Grounds about the same time as you!
