[AT] Broadcast/frost seeding clover?

[Robinson]

	This thread triggered a memory of planting cereal rye when I was 8 
years old. We had a model A Ford truck (made from a cut down sedan). It 
had a small high flatbed on it. The seeder was a former hand carried one 
that originally had a cloth bag. The seeder was bolted to an old horse 
drawn mower seat spring. The seat spring was bolted to the trucks hitch. 
The cloth bag was replaced with a large lard can with a hole in the 
bottom. My father drove the truck all over the field and I sat on the 
back of the truck turning the crank and watching the hopper. I would 
yell when it got low and he would stop and I refilled the lard can hopper.
	I still have that old seeder, hasn't been used in 50 years.

I was going to mention something cute about my failing memory but I have 
forgotten it already...  :-)
