Thank you Nancy for your reply. I think I agree that the clay would not work that well with it. I usually broadcast the fertilizer and then immediately run over the patch several times starting with a disc harrow to flip the upper layer of dry matter and fertilizer into the soil with a spring finger harrow attached, then over it a couple of times with a field cultivator which consists of numerous shanks of 10" sweeps and on the rear of the implement are 3 rows of spring fingers to smooth everything out nice and smooth. I like to let the new weeds germinate and get a little growth...couple of inches, then do them in.

Then I'm off the field till harvest time. Idea is to get the crop thick enough and up first to crowd out the troublesome weeds.
