Seeding beans with broadcast spreader

Posted by Thohmas Walker on May 12, 2007 at 17:06:44 from (69.212.83.126):

Hi Guys.
I have 5 acres of production soybeans that I am planning to plant tomorrow. I want to broadcast seed them.
The ground was chiseled last fall, disked early this spring to level. My intentions are to disk once tomorrow, broadcast the soybeans, about 70-80 lbs per acre (extra high rate) (220,000 seeds/acre). then disk again to incorporate. WILL THIS WORK?
I dont have a drill and I dont want to borrow one. I have a 100 lbs PTO drive broadcast seeder/fert spreader that I intend to use...,maybe seed at 1/2 rate., then go opposite direction seeding again, then disk in....some will be on top, some 1 inch deep, some 2 inches deep....will they come up?
I also have a spring tooth harrow and a spike tooth harrow at my disposal...
Looking for your comments before I do this.
Thanks!
