Photograph of an alfalfa-sweet clover drill. Front view of a specially-designed alfalfa-sweet clover drill.

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.
