It saved me so much time on this project...seeding a new lawn/pasture no till !
What happens here
The video opens with an introduction to the day's project: using a John Deere 5065 tractor to prepare a section of land for seeding. The creator explains that he will first use a landscape rake, followed by a seed drill, to plant sunhemp and grass seed. He mentions that grass seed is not typically planted this time of year (July) but emphasizes the importance of getting the sunhemp in before expected storms. The previously cleared area is introduced as a future potential home site and part of the farm's income diversification strategy.
Goal: Understand the project goals: land preparation for seeding sunhemp and grass.
