Loading Seed and Drilling

What happens here

Load the hopper of the Truax Company, Inc. Flex-II grain drill with the chosen seed mix. The creator uses a blend of fescue/ryegrass seed, specifically targeting a spread rate of 28-32 pounds per acre. He then adds Sunhemp seed, purchased from Hancock Seed Co., to the hopper. Sunhemp provides significant biomass (3,000-4,000 pounds per acre) and fixes nitrogen into the soil once it flowers, which will benefit the accompanying grass seed. Adjust the grain drill's settings to achieve the desired seeding rate. With the grain drill attached and loaded, begin driving the tractor across the prepared land in overlapping passes, allowing the drill's rollers to slit the ground and deposit the seeds at a shallow depth.

Goal: Plant the grass and sunhemp seeds into the prepared soil using the grain drill.
