Default food plot equipment

Looking for an all around planter/drill for my food plots. I have been broadcasting my beans but that doesn't seem very accurate. This year I had one great plot & the rest were not very good at best. I would like to be able to plant everything from clover to beans or corn. I do have an older drill that I have been planting wheat & milo with.

A friend has a Kasco 6' Eco-Drill drill that i used last year to plant oats. It is a really good drill but they are expensive.

Depending on what kind of tractor you have, you could probably find an older JD or IH two-row planter that's in decent shape for around $1000. Just need different plates for the different seeds.

not sure where you are, but if you apply rye grass , there is no need to til, but with beans they need to be buried bout an inch or so deep. can just til them in as i did with a hand tiller it worked great..if i had a tractor and planter i'd have 40 acres of plot lol..gl
