Field Preparation For Oat or Fall Crop Seeding

We have talked to a few customers and agronomists who have mentioned field preparation was more important that they first thought. They noticed that a tillage with harrow packer pass allowed for better germination and more even crop.
If the fall crop seeding is early enough it may make sense to spend time to make sure there is not heavy residue in spots from combines stopping, water up volunteer barley or hailed crop and make sure you can kill it before your fall crop is seeded or is up.
