Seed Sower
This bag, full of
seed was slung around the farmer’s shoulder. An opening at the bottom of
the bag was opened a set amount to let seed exit from the bag at some
given rate. As the farmer walked along he or she would turn the handle
which it turn rotated the plate at the bottom. As the seeds dropped out
of the bag they landed on the rotating plate and were scattered onto the
ground.
