[QUOTE="sizmic, post: 1007266, member: 6764"] The photos on facebook were taken of a field we did with a drill. We left the tubes hooked up just didn't cut the blades in. However, the best fields we've done have been with a fertilizer buggy, we just cut the rate in half and ran over it twice splitting the rows. Very, very important to cultipak your field before seeding and then again after. I belive the absolute best way to sow teff is with a brillion dropper/packer. We just don't have access to a working one. Most all the seed now comes coated and what you see in your hand is 50% seed, 50% coating, that might give you an idea of just how small the seed is. Teff is very hard to work with but the rewards can be good, it saved me from selling some cows the first year we tried it, it literally was the only thing that grew that year. I actualy had some hay to sell for a premium that year and help a few neighbors in need out. One year was a complete but though, never got any rain to soak it in. Ants began carrying the seed to ther holes, there were little blue (coating is blue) streeks all over the field. It never germinated. We always had ours in the ground by June 1st. Sizmic [/QUOTE]
