Seeding the Food Plot with the No-Till Drill
At 13:00 in
She ain't afraid of dirt! Seeding new pastures...cool new tools...but we had a setback!
What happens here
With the Woods WSS96 no-till drill attached to the Massey Ferguson 240 tractor and loaded with seeds and lime, the farmer begins the seeding process. He drives the tractor systematically across the cleared food plot, ensuring complete coverage. The no-till drill's coulters cut into the soil, depositing the materials, and the press wheels follow behind to close the furrows, creating optimal seed-to-soil contact. The process kicks up a fair amount of dust as the tractor moves. During the operation, the farmer checks his phone for the weather forecast, noting that rain is expected soon, which is crucial for activating the lime and germinating the seeds. He explains that a steady rain will help the Solu-Cal penetrate the soil and initiate seed growth effectively.
Goal: Plant the seeds and lime evenly across the food plot.
