Fertilizer and lime can be applied during this step so it can be worked into the soil. Before seeding remember to firm the soil with a culti-packer or light drag. Broadcast the seed at the recommended rate evenly across the area. Using a light drag or culti-packer, cover the seed no deeper than 1/4". Making good seed to soil contact is the key to establishing a productive food plot.
