Ted and crew do a great job of demonstrating and instructing on their wares without being heavy handed about it. I enjoy their videos as well.

This is the part that stands out for me. There are a lot of "instructional" videos out there on farm implements. Most of them are either poorly disguised selling videos from vendors or just some guy posting a video, which can be very hit or miss. EA videos are very instructional with selling a very minor if even noticed feature. I learn something from every EA video even if I have no idea what the implement is or have no use for it.

Some of them are adds & showing why their products are so good, or better than the competition. However a most are the demonstrations of how you use an impliment. The add type ones are usually labeled pretty accurately as well & I find those valueable as well.

If it were me I would use a sprayer and then drill or have drilled in oats or beans or whatever. No till is a lot simpler, leave those rocks where they lie. Why bring them up and create more of an issue? Just spray it and seed it. Then let nature work for you.

My nephews on the farm of doubled to tripled the yields on their cropland via no-till. They have also demonstrated that if you till the soil it takes nature at least five years to get the productivity back to where it was. Now I know they have Ag degrees and have only been farming for twenty years but they have proven their point to me. Unless you need the ground smoothed out, take the simple route. Not as much seat time though.

You can do it with a box blade. It will take multiple passes and will not be perfect, but will get the job done.
