James, First thing I do is brush hog the field. I then use a 6 foot tiller to completely turn the soil. Most large feed stores will let you use their pull behind broadcast spreaders that they have on site if you buy your seed and fertilizer from them. I have them premix fertilizer and seed together and then they auger into spreader. After pulling the spreader with my pickup and braodcasting the seed, I come behind with my tiller at apprx. 1 inch deep and dust both seed and fert into ground. I planted oats and winter peas. Did ten acres, used 800 lbs of oats 100pds peas and 1000 pds of fert. This process works for me every time assuming it rains.
