Anything that is going to do what your looking for will require a disc to turn the ground,spreader so that you can spread lime, fertilizer,a handseeder for your seed, and a sprayer to spray glyphosate (roundup).

You will need to get a soil test done, and will likely have to start with a good 1.5 ton spreading of lime per acre to get the PH balanced out. Get that done ASAP, it takes a few months for lime to start to neutralize the PH.

Once this is done, about 2-3 weeks before your desired seeding time I would spray the entire plot with your glyphosate (roundup) and let it rot down for 10 days or so. After it has had 10 days or so, spread your fertilizer on top of the dead field, disc it in immediately (that same day), to prevent the nitrogen from vaporizing, and seed it all within a few days of this to prevent giving weeds a chance to take over. Once the seed is down, use a simple drag to cover the seed, it should be just barely covered, any more than 1/8" to 1/4" deep and it won't make it. I use a drag made from a section of chain link fence to just disturb the surface after seeding to cover mine and it works well.

I'd plant two seperate sections in the same plot of Biologic Maximum, and Biologic Full Draw. Both are a brassica and should be seeded in early August. They will reach maturity and the deer will start to eat when they get about 2-3 hard frosts on them. The Maximum seems to be the favorite in my plots from about the second week of October till middle of November, and they eat the Full Draw from the very end of October all the way through February at my place.

If you do it right and put in the work, this is what it will look like..........
