Had to comment on the post from yesterday,, I was not talking out my rear on my comments, I guess I just have better drills than others as my seed mix stays mixed throught out planting, I worked for 20 years at the local road and bridge and one of my jobs was reseeding when we rebuilt a road, always used mixed seeds, crested wheat grass brome and sweet clover was the mix they used, I can take you down all the roads I seeded today they are all even in the stands, always was, as for planting deep that works just fine too, Here in NE Wyoming we do not get moisture like many of you do, we average 14-16" that includes snow, if I got the rain many of you get I could just throw the seed on the ground and watch it grow,, that does not happen here, I plant it deep for a number of reasons one is to be able to plant alfalfa in very early spring long before the last hard freeze to be able for it to use the early H20 we normally get to get it well established and rooted. I know I was told growing up that would not work but work it does, my hay fields when they get H20 produce 2-3 tons per acre hay, and yes we only get one crop, that average is twice the County average so I guess my system does work. I also use double disc press drills something most folks have never even seen in other areas. My grain crops also produce well above the average here. Do not be so quick to slam someone for how they do something just because it is different than what you have always done. you may not be near as know'ed up as you think you are as different areas require a different approach. Is my way the only way Heck No its not but it is what works best for my area and ground. I was just telling what works for me, I have got the same response form people here and then they see how my way works for me, I will say it takes a lot more than just spreading speeds out here and harrowing them in to get a stand like I do, now Sure it may work if we have a super wet year which we get maybe once or twice in tens years or so,, but my way works every time, I have also tested planting spring grains in the fall, I planted in the first of November, late enough the ground temps kept the grain from sprouting till the ground warmed in the spring, did it work well yes and no, the stand was fantastic and stooled very well, but I do not spray for weed control so I did have a good batch of winter weeds and the ground that year crusted a bit more than I like. To close up I have been at this on this place since 1969 so it is not my first rodeo and I will refrain from commenting on such posts as there seems to be so much knowledge here my opinion is not needed anyway, I did get a real good chuckle from the comments as its not the first time I have been called crazy even though it was done on the sly,, have a great day all and good luck with fall harvest cnt

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
