I'm needing to plant some grass seed (probably brome or some other mix). About 20 acres. My question, is what is the best implement to use. One guy suggested a brillion, another said use a seed drill with grass attachment while another said broadcast the stuff and then go over it with a harrow. I don't own any of the above implements but could probably rent, borrow or purchase. What do you guys think? The land has been in CRP for the last 10 years but is mostly tall weeds now, and I will be burning it off soon. I do have a disc to establish a seed bed and a spike harrow. You guys helped me get my hay in last year. Thanks.

Alot will depend on how much effort you want to put into it. You can probably get by with broadcasting seed at a heavier rate than recommended and use your spike toothed harrow and drag over it a couple of times and get a stand of grass. For a thick, lush hay field that is pure and produces heavy then plow it, disc it, make a proper seedbed, pull soil samples and use the Brillion to plant. Even the no till drill will give a decent stand with little effort if you have access to one and have a tractor big enough to pull it.

Personally, land that has been sitting that long, I would plow and make a good seed bed, incorporate some basic herbicides, get the soil sample results and apply the proper nutrients and plant it well. Then again I hate to redo anything especially when I didn't do it as good as I could the first time around.
