Thanks for that picture of a helicopter seeding cover crops.
I?d like to try planting some cover crops this year. I?m thinking about doing crimson clover, for added nitrogen, to help the corn next year, and oats.
I want to seed it into standing soybeans, so they can get started earlier. Plus, there would be less runoff, if there's some plants in the ground.
I?m thinking about seeding about 10 acres by hand into the soybeans, now that the leaves are yellow.
My question is:
How long do you think it would take to walk over 10 acres, spreading with one of those shoulder seeders? How much work would that be?
Does anyone have a recommendation on a good manual, shoulder spreader?
I see Cabela?s has a 25 pounder.
Thank you!
