It's been a while but i am back and enjoying getting everyone's tips. This weekend i saw something i had not seen that impressed me and thought i would share. While visiting a property, the owner's cultipacker broke and he did not have a harrow. To get the job done, he strapped two large cedar trees to the back of an ATV and dragged the field. I may try it this weekend just to save on time.

A section of weighted chain-link fence also works, but these types of "drag covers" tend to drag your seed to low spots.

Yep,gotta be careful with small seeds.I planted a new plot in 6 inches of dust,didnt do anything but broadcast,then the weekend rain hit,looks great as of Sunday.

Rain plants seeds very well.

Absolutely, I normally overseed some of my wheat plots in turnips right before a rain. Works great.

Rain plants seeds very well.

As long as the soil has been turned or they seeds are very small. Rain alone doesn't plant large seeds on hard ground very well!

I disk, drag, seed, re-drag.....eliminates the "spots".

My fields are looking awesome. Just mowed, sprayed, and sowed.
