Just because you can drag a seeder through a field does not mean it’s going to work.Last edited by AlbertaFarmer5; May 24, 2022, 10:45.

I hit every acre with a Salford 4100. It aerates the ground and makes a beautiful seedbed. Without it the water just sits there and stagnates, it’s amazing what a bit of air will do. The 2100 would probably be better for spring work but have to use what you have.

I harrow every acre in the spring with a BG 6000 mid harrow. Left a quarter for the cows to pick. Seeder operator couldn’t believe how much wetter and easier pulling that field was even though cows ran on it. Makes me wonder why I do the things I do. Since I got a rotary machine with a better chopper and spread I really question the necessity to harrow everything. I don’t run a hay rake for a drill so flow through isn’t a big issue it seems.

I am generally not a fan of heavy harrowing. Did some lastyear and was amazed how it was a little wetter than unharrowed. It sealed the cracks somewhat. Learn something new every year.
