Part 3/8:
The video transitions to the seeding of oats and alfalfa across different fields. Utilizing a tractor with a disc and chisel plow, the farmer begins the process on his 11-acre field, ensuring to properly prepare the soil for seeding by slicing up corn stalk residues. The choice of crops is strategic; oats are to act as a nurse crop, aiding in the establishment of alfalfa by suppressing weeds and providing shelter during its slower germination process.
As he progresses, the farmer highlights the importance of timing and soil conditions. He mentions working with neighbors for broadcast seeding, showcasing collaboration in rural farming communities where shared resources can ease the workload.
