[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3262735, member: 5412"] Welcome to OSA. First question is why do you need a cultipacker? Are you planting clover or some other small seed? Even if your planting clover, a section of chain link fence wired to a pipe and then wired to the atv hitch and pulled over the disced ground will plant any seed. Don’t overthink planting a food plot. Your not doing it for a crop, it’s an attractor for deer or other wildlife and it’s not rocket science. Test your soil for PH, and treat accordingly. If your going to plant wheat or oats, use about 150 lb per acre to make it lush. If planting clovers without a brillion seeder, distribute 8-9 lb of seed per acre with a hand spreader. You can plant less if your budget doesn’t allow it but be sure to also apply 46-0-0 fertilizer if available in your area. If not, any fertilizer from your home and garden store on sale at the end of season will be better than applying nothing at all. Have fun with your plot and don’t fall for the exotic seed junk you find in the sporting goods section at Walmart. 90% of it is seed that animals around OK have never seen before and likely won’t take to it unless a captive herd.
