What happens here
The video begins with Josh from Stoney Ridge Farmer introducing the activity of overseeding pastures. He stands next to his red TYM T1104 tractor, which is hooked up to a Woods PSS72 precision seed drill. He mentions the goal is to establish forage using grass seed and clover, emphasizing nitrogen fixation and correcting soil pH, which is currently between 4.0 and 4.2. He points out the different components of the seed drill, including front spiked rollers, a middle spiked roller, and a cultipacker at the back, explaining how it prepares the seedbed, drops seeds, and then packs them in. He also shows pallets of 'FastCal' (a calcium-based product similar to limestone) used for soil amendment.
Goal: The farmer introduces the day's task of overseeding pastures using a TYM T1104 tractor and a Woods PSS72 precision seed drill, highlighting the types of seeds and soil amendments to be used.
