Today I took a day off work (been working steady since new year's so it was time for a day off) and planted our oats. About 10 acres. Kinda funny too- Dad noticed the patent date on the drill was from 1946. It's a 20x7 Van Brunt model B and it's still one of the biggest drills in the neighborhood.
Has a grass seeder on it for the small seeds. Was apparantly set a little on the heavy side as the alfalfa seed went a little faster than we thought it would, but didn't run out as we bought an extra bag just in case. Good thing too- only had about enough to fill a cool whip container left in the seed box.
Had plenty of oats though. Cleaned our own and stuck it back in the ground. Should be up in a week or 2.
