Cost for planting

[Blakemorar]

I have about 15 acres that need to be planted in grass. I am likely to go with tifton-9 since it appears to be an all around grass. I have rolling hills and some flat wetter areas as well. I am leaving some trees in (probably 10-15 and acre). The land is prepped for planting (leveled and clean). How much do you think it will/should cost to disk it, spread it and sew it down using a cultipacker?

Open ended, I know. I know it also depends on how many lbs of seed per acre. Lay it on me.

Thanks, Blake

Don't know what rates for disking and spreading are now but I do know that Tifton 9 seed is expensive! Fertilize has also gone up significantly this year too. The 21-7-14 analysis that I use on the hay field has gone from about 300 or so per ton to 340. That will translate to higher hay prices! Good luck with your pasture.

Is it possible to get one of the farmers in your area to Seed Drill it for you?
