Break the monotony of bleak winter days with grey gloomy skies and get out there and do a dormant seeding which will give you visions of spring. Many of our friends and clients have spread their seed over two to three inches of snow or bare ground to enhance or even to start a new prairie in the months of January and February. Since the winter has been so mild this is the perfect time to take action and have some winter fun.
We will even premix your seed with cottonseed hulls to make it a breeze to evenly distribute your seed by hand broadcasting or drilling your seed.
