[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 1088955, member: 5412"] Ok now we are getting specific. Alfalfa is tough to plant as its a tiny seed and needs equipment designed for it to get it planted. Kind of like clover. You have to have a cultipacker or something like that to barely cover it. That being said, if you have something to break-up the soil surface, no matter what it is, (a small plot) I've used my atv riding in circles to break it up or have dragged a pipe with railroad spikes welded to it, or what-ever. Scatter the seed and cover it with some chain link fence dragged over the top of it. WAY before you do any of this. Take a soil sample and find out what the soil needs to put in the seeds you want to plant. Go the NRCS, or soil conservationservice, or the National wild turkey federation and order one of their soil sample bags. Its less than $10. Tell them what you want to plant and they will provide you an analysis of the soil and tell you what to apply to make it happen. Good luck. A Good food plot has to be designed, and not just put in. Planting Sorgum is no different. If the soil is not prepared correctly, and the PH is not correct, the plants will grow, and a head will develop, but it won't have much of anything in it for the critters. [/QUOTE]
