What happens here

The presenter drives the TYM T1104 tractor with the Woods Precision Super Seeder attached, across a recently cleared pasture. He shows how the machine's front spiked rollers lightly disturb the soil, the seeds are dropped from the hoppers, and the rear cultipacker rolls over to ensure good seed-to-soil contact. The process is smooth, with the tractor effectively planting the fescue, millet, and clover mixture. The drone footage provides an aerial view of the no-till drill in action, highlighting its efficiency in over-seeding the pasture without extensive prior ground preparation. This field was cleared last year, marking a significant step in developing the farm's grazing areas.

Goal: The presenter drives the tractor with the Woods Precision Super Seeder across a cleared pasture, demonstrating the no-till seeding process to establish new forage.

gonna do for over seeding typically you'd be about 150 pounds to the acre if you were just seeding new pasture so that's kind of the rate that we're going at and everything's already set up on this machine you can set it up to put however much seed you want there is a lot of science behind it but we're just throwing seed down and running over probably i'd say a three acre area 50 pound bag believe this will hold all three 50 pound bags we're gonna put one in one side one on the other and then we're gonna top it off with fescue here's what the seed looks like the little bitty round ones are the millet and the bigger flatter ones are the fescue okay so where are we going on the farm we are going over to this field directly across from our house okay this is a field that we cleared last year we cleared 50 new acres of pasture last year man what a huge huge undertaking but that's what you got to do to grow a farm we'll probably be fencing this in and or my permanent house is going to be there so we're living in a mobile home right now a 14 by 80 mobile home as we build the farm this is the pasture we just moved the cows out of and we're headed over to an area that's not quite fenced yet but it will be fenced pretty soon pretty excited [Music] do [Music] well guys i got work to do that's what's going on today on the farm on the stoney ridge i just wanted to let you guys know what was going on stick around after the credits you'll get to see the baby chicks i've got to get this field seated so it's going to take me another hour so this pss-72 that's what it is called it's a woods precision super cedar 72 i believe that means 72 inches wide but it seems a little wider than that to me so guys thanks a lot i hope to see you again on the stony ridge farm i hope you learned a little bit of something today and i got work to do so we'll see you next time on the stoney ridge don't forget to stay around after the credits to see the baby chicks see you next time
