Over two days, Hilarie and I are fitting and seeding a new pasture. This consists of picking rocks, disking to break up soil clumps, picking more rocks, using a cultimulcher to do final leveling of the field, picking more rocks, seeding with a broadcast spreader, picking yet more rocks, and using a cultipacker to set the seed, followed by picking more rocks. In between tasks, I give some general advice (what has worked well in our situation) about prepping the seed bed, choosing the right seed for a combined pasture and hay field, and maintenance of the field until the new plants are established.
