A large tractor mounted broadcaster having the capacity of holding several bushels of <br />grass seed will be used and the tractor will traverse the field such that overlapping of the seed <br />will occur. After the seed is broadcasted, a spring tooth harrow will be drug over the field to <br />bury the seed approximately 1/4 inch. Since not all of the seed will be covered, the seed rate <br />will be increased/561lb o've the drilled seed rate. If the harrow is not utilized, such as ina topsoil <br />stockpile situation, then the broadcast rate will be double the drilled rate.
