Implement Overseeding Strategy and Application Rate

Farmer's Winter Pastures....Am I wasting money on this? #farming #farm
What happens here
The presenter outlines his specific strategy for overseeding. He plans to spread the grass seed on pastures where the cows are actively grazing. This method utilizes the cows' hooves to naturally work the grass seed into the soil, eliminating the need for additional equipment to incorporate the seeds, ensuring no seed is wasted. He also clarifies his chosen application rate of approximately four bags per acre, noting this is less than the six bags per acre often recommended by seed professionals for new pasture seeding. This reduced rate is suitable because he is overseeding an already healthy pasture rather than establishing a completely new one. He anticipates that ryegrass will germinate first, followed by clover, and then fescue, based on the seed mix composition.
Goal: Effectively distribute grass seed with optimal soil incorporation and germination.
