Why not broadcast cereals with a fertiliser spreader to save the cost of a drill?

[QUOTE="snarling bee, post: 7823749, member: 681"] If you use pre-em herbicides for weed control then the seed needs to be under 40mm of settled soil. When I broadcast last season I used 600 seeds m2 to get the same plant count as 400 seeds drilled. That has a cost, approx £28k pa in my case. My second hand drills are not worth £10,000 per metre. Probably one third of that. [/QUOTE]
