Load Middle Hopper with Contractor's Mix

What happens here

Next, prepare the middle hopper by lifting its lid. This hopper will be filled with a 'Contractor's Choice' seed mix, an 80/20 blend of fescue and annual ryegrass. The ryegrass is crucial for rapid germination (within 48 hours) to provide quick forage cover, especially during fall and winter, while shading the slower-germinating fescue (7-14 days) to allow it to establish. Pour two 50-pound bags of this mixture into the middle hopper. The seeder's manual includes a chart for various seed rates; for overseeding pasture, the recommended rate for fescue is approximately 47 pounds per acre.

Goal: Load fescue and annual ryegrass mixture for pasture overseeding.
