FOR SOWING GRASS SEED (TIMOTHY, ALFALFA, CLOVER) BY HAND. THE SEED TROUGH WAS CARRIED WITH THE AID OF A NECK/SHOULDER STRAP. AS THE OPERATOR WALKED ACROSS THE FIELD, HE MOVED THE SERRATED SLAT IN THE BOTTOM OF THE BOX BACK & FORTH. THE AGITATION CAUSED THE SEED TO PASS THROUGH THE HOLES & ON TO THE GROUND. IT WAS THEN COVERED WITH A HARROW. - Technical
-
AN EXAMPLE OF A WOODBOX BROADCAST SEEDER CARRIED BY THE OPERATOR. BECAUSE IT EXTENDED LATERALLY ON EITHER SIDE OF THE OPERATOR, THIS DEVICE ENABLED MORE GROUND TO BE SEEDED THAN WITH THE KNAPSACK STYLE CRANK HAND SEEDER. - Area Notes
