Photograph of standard street sweeping equipment that was successfully used to harvest Buffalo grass seed. The sweeper brush is raised and the collector pan—ahead of the brush and not showing—would be in the dummy position. The machine was put to work on a golf course to collect the seed needed for reinvigorating and Oklahoma military airfield. Tarpaulins were placed on each side of the fairway and the collector of seed, trash and grass was dumped on the tarpaulins and then sacked. The golf course was undamaged. One experienced seed collector estimated that at least 95% of all seed on the ground was collected. Sampling indicated that 30 % of the clean seed were collected per hour at a cost of less than 50 cents per hour. Total seed collection was about 1500 pounds. OK-8679.
