Loading Materials into the Drill

What happens here

The farmer proceeds to load the no-till drill. First, he uses a utility knife to open bags of Solu-Cal Plus, a granular calcitic lime, and carefully pours them into the front hopper of the Woods WSS96 no-till drill. He explains that Solu-Cal is a concentrated form of lime, equivalent to 3-4 bags of traditional lime per bag, making it more efficient for pH adjustment. Next, he prepares the seed mixture, which is an 80/20 Summer Contractors Mixture containing Tall Fescue, German Foxtail Millet, and Sorghum. He opens the bags of this seed mix and loads them into the rear hopper of the drill. He demonstrates how to adjust the metering system using the chart provided in the manual to achieve the correct seed dispersal rate.

Goal: Load the no-till drill with lime and seeds at the correct settings.
