To overseed a hay field, start by mowing the existing grass to a low height to reduce competition for the new seeds. Next, use a no-till drill or broadcast seeder to evenly distribute the new seed over the prepared soil. Lightly rake or harrow the area to improve seed-to-soil contact, and water the field if conditions are dry to promote germination. Monitor the field for growth and manage it appropriately to ensure the new seedlings establish successfully.

If it was a fallow field, you should till it and run a cultipacker over it before you seed. That will help control weeds to an extent. When you seed, set your drill to drop about 15 pounds of seed per acre. That will give about 45 seedlings per square foot for the first year.

What is a cheap grass seed for hay?

The cheapest grass seed for hay is usually the species of grass that grows most commonly in your area. Naturally, this varies according to where you live. For example, Bermuda grass (though usually seeded by sprigging) may be less expensive to obtain for hay in the northern area of Florida than Smooth Brome grass seed. However, in the central areas of Alberta, Canada, buying Smooth Brome grass seed or Kentucky Bluegrass-mix seed may be cheaper than getting grass seed for something like Big Blue Stem. You will, however, have to check with your local seed supplier for more accurate prices for grass seed for hay.

How do you plant hay fields?

Planting hay is quite simple, all you need is a tractor and a seed planter. This is a machine that attaches to the Power take off (PTO) on the tractor and will evenly dispurse the seeds. Hay does not need the amount of tractor work other crops do, most hay feilds are natural grasses that are already growing (however, farmers do add in a variety of grasses), hay fields do not need to be sprayed or cutivated pre or post planting.
