Comment:
Seeded the alleyways in GLBRC Main Site around the Switchgrass_Variety, Switchgrass_Productivity and the Illinios Study Areas with turfgrass. Variety used was Earthcarpet Green Resistor Trufgrass Blend, Lot number B28M-9-911 composed of SR8650 Tall Fescue (49.89%) Grande II Tall Fescue (24.91 percent) and SR8550 Tall Fescue (24.83%). Planted with the JD6420 tractor and the Brillion seeder at 330#/A seed. Settings on Brillion seeder were 4.25 (right) and 3.2 (left). Seeded in 2 passes over entire area. Crossing alleyway areas were seeded in 4 passes (2 in each perpendicular direction). T alleyways were seeded into the T first, then soil finished, then the top part of the T was seeded. Brillion seeder was set so the track eliminators completely removed the track and the full weight of the seeder was resting on the packers.
