Setting Fescue Seed Rate

okay so there's a step here a step here then you get up on this rail right here okay I'm tall enough that I can reach up here put the lid up when you flip the lid you've got a guide right here that tells you what you're running and tells you what settings to put it on so we put it on setting number eight for fescue and that puts 23 you see the 23 that's 23 pounds per acre and then we have some settings for the spring in the rear and a few more settings to set our depth for the drill and this is the drill part the little blades that you see down there so we'll go right over here and there's a little hand crank there's a little crank and there's a little dial right here and we want to set it on eight by cranking our little crank just like that so here we go cranking it cranking it right there to the eight that's a little above the eight yeah there we go looks good now we'll be putting down some rye grain right there's a rye grain and we want to put the raw grain down we're gonna put it on the number five at 15 okay and that puts 15 pounds to the acre we want to put the Rye grain and the rye grass seed down because it's an annual and it's going to come up really really fast now we're on a hillside right here and this hillside will wash so we want something that's going to hit quick okay hitting quick means it's going to grow it's going to grow quick so it's going to sprout a root within a day a day day and a half that rye grain will and then the ryegrass will follow about four days later and then the fescue will follow about seven to nine to twelve days later
