You could use a spinner spreader for seeding small grains instead of the drill. Up to you. (Do you have a 3-point on your H? Will make a big difference on what implements are available for you.) I would want a harrow (aka drag) to flatten ground, cover small grains, and uproot weeds a week after planting corn. I would also want some type of mower or bush hog to cut down hay & grass. You will need to keep the weeds down in the corn, either a sprayer or a row crop cultivator - the cultivator needs to match the rows & row width of your planter. You may want a small field cultivator for working up the ground. This would do about the same thing as the disk, you would only need one or the other. Since most small old field cultivators have problems letting trash (last year's straw/crop) flow through I guess the disk is a better idea. The cultivator would loosen & rip up & dry out soils like we have here in the wet cool spring. A disk will pack down & harden the ground - but it also chops up trash & lumps. The big farmers have all parked their disks as modern field cultivators do a much better job, but the little guys all prefer disks. Just mentioning an option. For food plots it maybe doesn't matter, but you might want some type of fertilizer spreader. A drop or spinner type. Depends how many acres you are talking about. You can hire this out too if it's several acres. The same with the spraying mentioned above. --->Paul
