I appreciate the info in this and the old post. We have limited implements and live about 1.5hrs from our property but we’ve managed to plant 4 acres the last couple years with just a bush hog. And our plots grow great and the soils getting better. They aren’t lush perfectly manicured plots, but the deer eat the heck out of them and make for a target rich environment. Unfortunately the land owner had our plots bushogged about 2 weeks ago so I’m not sure our method will work as well this year with limited growth. We spread seed with a atv/ spreader then just mow over the top. We don’t even use roundup we just wait till normal growing seasons over and typically plant 1st weekend of November.
