Ricky: Use Certified seed as it will produce much more than field run, 
even if you could find field run not from a sterile hybrid cross. Down 
there "dryland" planting you will not need but about one bag for the 
entire 20 acres. Your seed rate will be about 2 lbs /ace and a 50 pound 
bag is 20-25 acres.
Re the cultivation: You will need to get a John Deere tractor with a 
front end cultivator so you can see what you are covering up as you 
cultivate. Just happen to have both the John Deere and the front end 
cultivator-in either 4 or 6 row. Now you need to get a JD 4 or 6 row 
lister planter to plant with and everything will be perfect. No 
lightning affects on any of the above!!!
I'll ask my nephew if he has any leftover Dekalb or Asgrow seed. 
Sometimes they have to pay to have it hauled off and disposed because of 
the seed treatment, so maybe he has something.
