I know nothing about tillage.
We are talking about reseeding a few acres and making wholecrop which will be baled into silage.
Can some of you point me in the right direction so that when i go to the contractor i have some idea of what I'm talking about.
What are the steps involved? Plough, power harrow, seed, fertilize, lime, pick stones, roll???
Could we broadcast the seed?
Anyone recommend what we should put in? Next door has done barley and peas with the grass seed in the past. Is it a good option? They are currently growing kale but have had a very poor crop this year.
How much fertilizer per acre should we put on and what type?
When should it be cut and how many bales to the acre could we expect?
The hope is to winter some stores on the silage over winter.
Thanks in advance.
