John Deere working Woods Precision Super Seeder...Over seeding fall pastures

What happens here

Access the large rear hopper, which is designed to hold native warm-season grass seeds. Unlike the smaller, fine clover and ryegrass seeds, native grass seeds are typically larger and can have fluffy appendages, requiring a different hopper design. The presenter shows a handful of these larger, more irregularly shaped seeds. Although the specific mix details aren't provided, it's a custom blend from Green Resource, emphasizing diversity in the pasture, especially Eastern Gamagrass which is excellent forage for cattle. This hopper has its own gear system for dispensing these unique seeds.

Goal: Understand the purpose and seed type for the rear hopper.
