If you’re looking for a broadcast seeder or spreader that can handle all your seeding needs, you know that the Herd Seeders are the right equipment for your needs.
Broadcasting planting refers to the practice of dispersing seeds over the soil’s surface. Herd’s broadcast seeders and spreaders can handle bulk quantities of seed and can plant in vast acreages efficiently.
Herd’s wide range of broadcast seeders and spreaders are also easy to use, require low maintenance, and provide high performance while saving time and labor, resulting in increased crop output. Despite being called seeders, these machines spread seeds and other materials such as fertilizers, granulated salt, and insecticides. They also have unique features that make them efficient, reliable, and cost-effective to have on your farms, orchards or groves, schools, or parks.
