long standing pasture, unsure say 20+years
as fescue. wanting to plant some alfa alfa
into it. dont have a no till drill, and not
sure that even i were to borrow one, that
simple pass with a notill would even work.
asking what strategy you have success with
for getting oasture ground seedbed ready
for a seed drill. bremer silt loam.
 
plow it up and disc it them harrow it and seed it with a cover crop like oats or barley. alfalfa wont grow in fescu. broad cast the alfalfa on top with other seed like brome or what ever. then harrow it in.
 
no done skip cover crop. plant in spring then harvest the oats as greenfeed. I have even seeded alfalfa with canola.
 
don't know why a person would spray it, eliminating nitrogen, plus fescue does not grow tall in other words lawn grass so easy plowing. you want the green stuff buried. plow , summer fallow, then seed in spring.
