I've been seeding and spreading fertilizer at 50% for the last 5 yrs and never had a problem. The very 1st year I used the recommended seeding gauge opening on my hand seeder and ran out of seed before done. Six years ago when I started planting food plots I ran out of fertilizer 3/4 the way through the plots. That's also the reason I started using 50% and doing everything 2 times. It works for me.
