Seeds, seeds and more seeds! Planting season is here.

Here are some sugarbeet varieties that I started the season off with.  Lots of packaging for me this year
This is what we put the seed into.  Each packet represents a two row plot.  We calculate the amount of seed and then run it through the seed counter.
Here is a picture of corn being counted.
This is our precision planter.  It is computer run and can be programmed to plant an exact number of seeds per row.  We program the computer with an entire trial and the the planter then plants each plot to your desired population.  Todd sits up top and dumps each packet into the planter.
