BY CLIFF MARCUS
Work Unit Conservationist
Your Palmer Soil Conserva
tion Subdisrict has obtained
from the Soil Conservation Ser
vice on a loan basis a Brillion
grass seeder. This grass seeder
is excellent for seeding of brome
grass and other grasses. The se
cret to a good stand of grass is
a good seed bed. The seed bed
should be well worked, free of
sticks, firm, moist, and weedfree.
After the seed bed is prepared
the Brillion seeder will put the
grass seed at the right depth,
first packing the ground ahead
of the seed and then packing
the ground right after the seed
has been planted. The packing
action helps to conserve valuable
moisture and give the grass a
good start.
The seeder will be rented out
at the rate of $1.50 per acre plus
cost of $5.00 per day for each day
after the first day. A minimum
charge will be $5.00 for small
acreages.
This seeder can be rented by
contacting any of the Board of
Supervisors or seeing the local
Soil Conservation Service office.
Also the Subdistrict woodchip
per is available and this summer
would be a good time to start
preparing the bedding material
you will need this winter
