Fall planting time

It's time to plant in Michigan. Yesterday I finished disking an acre, ran a cultipacker over it to firm it up, then put down the Extreme seed from the Whitetail Institute. I also put down some oats, just as an added attractant this hunting season. That will die off after a hard frost. I put down 400# of 16-16-16 fertilizer, and then ran the culitpacker over it again. The seed is nicely covered with just a little soil, perfect. Now all I can do is wait for rain. The forecast doesn't look very promising. But cooler temps are coming, so that's good for the seed.
