Default RE: Harrow Drag-vs-Cultipacker

Thank you for your responses.....I have been planting food plots for years
and have had mixed success (good and bad), but I have always operated on a limited budget...I think deer hunting is often a rich man sport unless
you just happen to be a farmer....

After years of trial and error and without going into pages of explanation,
I will say that I tend to only plant in the fall now. My deer lease is in West Texas....Very hot....Little rain....Spring planting is usually a joke...

Anyway, I tend to plant plain ole wheat, oats, chicory, and possibly some
rye or triticale now and then or maybe some vetch thrown in the mix....I will vary now and then....Regardless of all that, I've usually disced or used a rotor tiller (behind the tractor), broadcasted my seed, and like I said mixed results....

I cannot afford (or justify to the wife) buying expensive farm equipment for once a year use! So, trying to find the most affordable, yet effective method of planting.....Thank you again for your responses....
