Planting Oats Question...
Can I disc in my oats...or will that hurt the seed? I have a bed that is fairly well prepped...but I need to disc it more. Should I disc, plant and disc again?
Thanks!
BTW...All I'm working with at this point in the year is a disc and a 4-wheeler. No culti-packer.

RE: Planting Oats Question...
If you have a good seedbed (bare ground, not too lumpy), just throw your oats on and disk LIGHTLY to cover. When I farmed, the saying was that "oats will grow on a tin roof." However, it is best to get them covered and in firm contact with fine soil. Being covered also protects the seed from birds.
