Photograph of an alfalfa-sweet clover drill. James McBride, Work Unit Conservationist [WUC] and Soil Conservation Service [SCS], shows the advantages of a special alfalfa-sweet clover drill. Push-type double disk openers (International) are spaced at 8 inches on a strong angle-iron frame. Small seed boxes (Planter Jr. Type) are used, which permits a much lower and controlled seeding rates. In this area much land is subject to blowing and it is necessary to seed in a trashy cover. This type of equipment gives excellent performance with excellent stands almost guaranteed. The cost of this type of drill is approximately $700. It is furnished to the District Cooperators on a rental basis of 50 cents per acre. The Greer County SCD has two of these drills available. They seeded over 1,000 acres each last planting season. OK-253-11.
