Mollendor family farm

I am visiting My daughter and SIL on their farm in Western Nebraska.   I thought you would like to see the process of planting.   Usually we are visiting during harvest or summer growth seasons!  Spring planting is a whole different thing!  Here David is refiling the fertilizers,  seed, and insecticide in his planter.  

David’s 8 yr old planter does 12 rows at a time at 5 miles per hour,  guided by GPS giving very uniform planting.   The newer models can do 24 to 48 rows at a time at 10 MPH!  Much faster!…. but much more expensive.   Notice his tractor,  with caterpillar like treads.
