This farm is owned by Great River, a Cooper County Mo farm located on I-70, not far off the Missouri River in Boonville, MO. The date is May 20, 2013 The process of putting the seed into the ground begins by setting up the planter. This is a Kinze which is convertible from 8 to 16 rows, for beans or corn. Another setting has to do with seed population per acre. By changing the combination of sprockets different plant population rates can be selected. Follow the instructions and charts. Filling the seed hoppers is interesting. Just a few years ago seed was packaged in bags. Today there are additional 'low labor methods' than the method portrayed in this video. Off he goes, planting the 160 acres in this field. We welcome your comments
