I've said for two years I was going to have a bull forum hog shoot at our place. I need to put it together this year for sure. There are plenty of them there.

Good looking place by the way

Naw. See those two pumpkin heads with their head stuck in the grain bin? They dropped every seed in straight lines for two acres. [biggrin]

Yes, we drilled it. I'm new to this farming thing. Did we do it wrong?

Thanks Jacob!

[rofl] I was thinking about drilling some sesame with one of those which is about the same size seed but costs a whole lot more. Did you do the settings or did one of those knuckheads do it [toldyouso

[biggrin] I think the sesame would do fine. I started with the millet in the "small grain" hopper but it wouldn't drop. I don't know what is much smaller than millet (clover???) that you would use that hopper for but millet wouldn't work in it. Dropped it into the big hopper and went to town. I raised the drill pretty high so it wouldn't get too deep. I'm not sure I would get the drill just for millet again, but since we had it for beans already we figured what the heck.

Very nice tractor and drill!

What all can you plant with that drill?

Thanks YL. It's dad's tractor, he just lets me play on it occasionally. [wink] We rented the drill from Deviney. It planted beans, millet and milo without a prob. All out of the same hopper down the same chutes.

IMHO that drill is a dream come true. However, it is a complicated piece of machinery. Lift up the hopper and there is an printed encyclopedia of planting instructions printed, seed type, spacing, lbs per acre, depth, etc...

Yes there is. After reading through it for about 10 minutes and trying to figure it all out we both said screw this, we ain't planting for money. Opened her up and let her do her thing. A drill is on the bucket list for sure. I love wildlife farming.
