[QUOTE="Mcranch, post: 2606643, member: 116903"] Do a soil test it will give ask for ph level some areas require lime to get it to a more neutral level. I chisel and plow after a rain in September. That usually takes care of weeds. I wait until another rain. Allow a few days for the upper soul to firm up and dry some. Don’t want to get stuck in bottom areas. I then combine oats and wheat and use a grain drill. On the smaller two acre plots I will work the area as stated get a feed tub and get arrow leaf clover and inoculate then mix in oats and wheat with the clover and use a spin hopper to spread and use a smaller eight foot disc with a pipe drag attached. I lengthen the top link so the back discs are in the soil with the drag packing the soil. With enough moisture the seeds will germinate it take about a couple of weeks to come up. I wait until the plants are up are couple of inch’s watch the weather and get the fertilizer down. I use about 100 pounds in the the acre the seeding rate is about 80 lbs to the acre. It take a couple of months t for the plants to fork. Around Feb. I then use the fields for grazing my cattle. The down side is I have all the neighboring properties with their shooting boxes all around my fields. They benefit from my work. [/QUOTE]
