I was wondering if anyone has had experience with Whitetail Institute's NO-PLOW product? I have a new 1 acre food plot that I wish to broadcast this seed in late winter/early spring so the seed can work in. The foodplot was just cleared last November - which I seeded with Winter Rye. The rye is still there, but very sparse. I have an ATV and drag, but no plow. My thoughts were to drag the ground a bit to even out some spots and rough things up a bit & then broadcast the seed.

Is this a good practice? Would I be better off spraying Round-up first?

I have plans to re-plant this field in the fall with the help of a Neighbor & tractor. I wanted to get something in for Spring & Summer nutrition - any suggestions would be appreciated!
