Prepare a good seed bed with a disc harrow or plow. Drag the area with chain link fence or large pipe to smooth and level the surface.
Spread 100 lbs. of 16-4-8 or equivalent fertilizer per acre. Spread 10 lbs. of Sugar Beet seed per acre, or 5 lbs. per acre if mixing with greens, Turnips, Kale, Daikon Radish, Alyce Clover, Joint Vetch or other food plot seed.
Drag the fertilizer and seed in with chain drag to lightly cover the seed up to 1/2 in. deep. Germination may take a few weeks if it doesn't rain, and covering the seed is necessary to keep birds from eating the seed.
