Planting our our new Hay Field with a custom Grass Mix

  • Today I am finally planting our new Hay Field. The field will mostly be grass hay. We are planting orchard grass, meadow fescue, Timothy, and medium red clover. We are going to use a 3 point broadcast spreader to distribute the grass seed on the hay field. Then we are going to use a cultipacker to roll over the field and press the seed into the soil.

    Not too many people would have thought of a cement mixer for getting a uniform mix 🤔!

    The seed coverage was impressive. Let’s pray for good germination. That field will be a bonus for your hay harvest and farm income. Thanks Evan.

    I believe that you were pulling a roller packing the hay seed..you mentioned a cultipacker, they would have a set if cultivating teeth along with a packer

    The field looks good. Hope you get a drizzly rain to get it to grow. Now go to work...[just kidding]. Hope your work schedule slows down soon, I miss the videos.

      Amen, Nole brother ... Evan seems to be getting the hang of it regards this hayfield. BTW: you might like Field Rows channel, from maybe 100 miles northwest of Tallahassee ... And man, do we need a quarterback.
