I'm not sure if you guys can help me at all since most of you are geared more towards true farming where I'm getting into food plotting for wildlife. Another forum got me on board with no till throw and mow/roll but aren't answering the questions I have. I recently had a couple acres cleared with a dozer so it is bare dirt. I put out buckwheat for now to get something growing quick. I have the following equipment. MF135 with loader bucket, bush hog, cultipacker, pull disc, pull seed spreader and pull sprayer with 14' boom spray width.
Here are my questions posted on the other forum:
1. The benefits of no till seem amazing. Why is this not used by everybody? Is it harder to do? Lower germination rate?
2. How does the cost of no till compare to conventional methods?
3. Is there any benefit to either rolling or mowing after seed has been broadcast into standing vegetation? It seems like some roll while some mow.
4. How are you guys broadcasting/spraying high vegetation? By hand spreader? I saw where someone uses their loader to raise the sprayer which I can do, but I can't do that with my pull behind broadcast spreader. Also, 3 pt spreaders wouldn't raise that high so I don't see how that could be any more beneficial.
5. Can a disc be used in any way for no till that is beneficial? Even if only used lightly.

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
