"I'd like to see what similar implements you are using."

Yesterday my neighbor, who runs a truck farm, was out with his wife and daugher setting tomato plants with a contraption that looks similar to your second picture, but a bit larger. It has two rearward facing seats, and a water tank (55 gal. drum on its side) for water and fertilizer. I was curious, so I went over to see what it was. Turns out it is an old tobacco planter! /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

He was pulling it with his Ford 3000. (Or is it a 4000? I forget. It's blue, anyway.)

The tobacco Buy out has about as much chance passing congress as a snowball in H---Ken Sweet


July 23,04 "The U.S. House had earlier passed a $9.6 billion tobacco buyout that would make payments of $7 to quota holders and $3 to growers." http://southeastfarmpress.com/news/72304Senate-tobacco/
