We haven’t had much success with fall food plots at our place around Brady, TX over the past two years due to lack of rainfall in the fall and winter. We currently have a disk harrow, broadcaster and a drag. I noticed that even after we disked and drug the fields the soil was very fluffy and the seed would just sit on top of the soil even after dragging. We are looking at buying a cultipacker this year to help ensure that the soil is firm and to ensure the seeds are pressed into the soil. From what I’ve read is that a cultipacker could really help ensure the field is clod-free and firm up the soil to help prevent moisture loss. We are planting oats and wheat and maybe some soybeans and clover this fall and will probably plant the weekend of 10/19. We’ve tried planting at the beginning of October the past two years but after an early rain it got too hot and burned everything. Here is the cultipacker we are looking at buying:
Do any of you guys have any advise or know if any other cultipackers that you would recommend? Thanks for the input!
