Here the Laura® bean seed has been placed
into
the planter hopper.
This is the disc opener and press wheels beneath
the seed hopper. This
is where the Laura® seeds will be laid into the
ground and covered by the planter.
These are the Laura® seeds after they have been
planted into the ground.
I have uncovered them.
They lay about 1 ½ inches below the
surface of the soil.
Finally we roll the ground to firm up the seed
bed and keep the ground as smooth as possible for
harvest. This
helps keep the newly harvested beans as clean as
possible from the field.
