Nancy and I have been working on "the bottom" for the past several weekends getting it ready.
Sprayed most of "the bottom" with RoundUp to kill the weeds, vines, bullrush, and other.
Came back with the spring-tooth harrow and disk to turn everything over/under.
We picked up several large clumps of grass and pulled up all the torn roots.
Came back with the tire drag to smooth things over.
When time to plant, Nancy hitched up "Mack" our 51MT to the Brillion Sure Stand Seeder/Cultipacker and started the seedbed.

Cultipacking helps make good seed-to-soil contact.

We bought 360 pounds of Bahia Tifton 9 to plant.

This year "52" our 52A got the call to spread the seed with the Howse spreader.

Spread 320 pounds of seed and kept 40 pounds back for some "thin" spots.
Hooked up "15" our 53 Model 70 and finished the cultipacking.

We had two, good seperate rains during the week.
Now we wait.
Sorry no videos available; videos still on the camera and camera is at the farm.
