  • Method of operating a planter for planting seeds in a field for experimental purposes
    Patent number: 10624256
    Abstract: A method of operating a planter where plot characteristics are input into a controller that is associated with a planter. A distance measuring device associated with the controller senses ground speed and distance traveled and transmits the sensed information to the controller. The controller then automatically adjusts the rotational speed of a seed plate of a row planter mounted to the planter based upon the sensed information to achieve the input plot characteristics.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 23, 2013
    Date of Patent: April 21, 2020
    Assignee: Gary W. Clem, Inc.
    Inventors: Brian W. Carr, Andrew G. Jenkins, Curtis R. Hammer, Scott A. Sporrer, Nick Merfeld, Marcus D. Woster
