Default RE: Spreading wheat

Farmhunter, you are correct.
I have plowed and disked this plot. But with all the rain we got,
it is somewhat compacted, not "light and fluffy" like it was right after disking...
I went ahead lastnight and broadcast my seed.
I checked another plot where I'd broadcast a few weeks ago
and the wheat is about 2 inches tall. I did that area the same
as the plot I'm currently working on, disk, broadcast, no covering.
I may be able to disk this weekend. I don't have a cultipacker. What is a cultipacker anyways???

I tried using a cedar log behind the 4 wheeler to lightly cover, but it just kept rolling up in the chain and didn't work nearly as well as I'd planned. I think I'm going to work on this a little more, see if I can get better results....

Thanks for all your input.

Patrick
