Subject: How much increase in seeding rate?


Sunnyside, WA
Just had this conversation a couple days ago. We use a drill for all of our triticale, but run a soil finisher/field cultivator before to smooth it out. Thinking we could broadcast then run the field cultivator after to smooth it out and incorporate the seed. How much more seed do you plant? We are aiming for 110 to 120 lbs per acre with triticale for forage, so wondering on the additional seed cost to broadcast. Seeding doesn't take that long now that we went from a 13' to a 20', but its still time consuming.
