I concur with Dennis. I made a broadcast sprayer myself which sprays 24 feet and they are easier to maneuver than a boom.

Shawnee feed center has everything you need regarding chemicals, seed and spreader.
https://www.shawneefeed.com/I go out of my way to deal with them.
Others can discuss seed contact because it depends on seed planting. I have broadcast and drug my plots with fairly good results but it is less than ideal.

Be sure to give your herbicide time to work, brown and crispy if possible before touching the soil. If your dead vegetation is tall, burn it off or brush hog it before disking or tilling.
Got enough rain finally to soften things up and started one for a friend today. Sounds like this one will be Roundup ready Alfalfa.....no pressure for success there lol. Think he told me it was $25 a pound.
Heading north on Thursday to do some more clearing and food plot prep, and I started here behind my house in TX this afternoon.
I went out to a friend’s deer lease yesterday and am going to do some clearing and put in several food plots for them.

Get you a replacement tractor for the OK place yet?
No, I’m bring my skid steer home next week and going to take my tractor from here up there to do my food plots when I come back up in a couple weeks.
Edit to add, used tractor prices are like used vehicle prices, and I couldn’t find what I want within my budget. I’ve hauled a tractor back and forth for several years, so it‘s not a big deal.

Brush hogged my primary food plot today. Lots of Johnson grass but no sign of the clover.
Don’t know if it’s dormant or dead from the high heat and drought.
Decisions to be made shortly as the heat and drought are still in the 14 day forecast and want to get something growing before bow season.
Didn’t take but a couple hours for the does to check out the mowed area.

I got 2 plots done yesterday. Short on time this year and prices are ridiculous for everything. Did Winter peas, clover, and wheat. Praying for rain as always!
Anyone know what tree this is? Loaded with berries that look like persimmons but doesn’t look like a persimmon tree. It’s huge!

That’s a Mexican plum tree according to my plant ID app.
Here is a description:
The mexican plum tree can range in height from 15 to 38 feettall. It is a beautiful display in the spring when it is covered with fragrant white or pale pink flowers, which ripen into dark red or purple fruit in the fall. The mexican plum is edible, but the flavor can vary wildly based on growing conditions.

Tips from Garden Coaches
Mexican plum is often planted in gardens, orchards, or at the roadside. Its flowers and leaves are beautiful, while its fruit is tasty. This tree is not too difficult to take care of.

Attract Birds
With over 400 species in the mexican plum family, from plum trees and almonds to pin cherry shrubs, you’re sure to find many trees and bushes you can use to attract birds to your garden. Fruit trees are very attractive to birds, providing both shelter and nesting opportunities, as well as food, whether in the shape of fruit, nectar, or the insects that feed on and live in the plants. Smaller shrubs, such as chokecherry and pin cherry, often have fruit that lasts until early winter, providing birds with a rare source of food in the colder months.
