Pennock's Seed and Grain Planter

From American Agriculturist, 1846

This machine will plant wheat, rye, Indian corn, oats, peas, beans, rutabagas, and turnips; and can be regulated to drop any required quantity on an acre.

The drills can be thrown in or out of gear separately, so as to plant a field of any shape without seeding any part twice. They are so arranged as to operate equally well on all kinds of land—hilly and rough, as well as level and smooth. A man, with two horses, can put in from 10 to 12 acres with wheat in a day, and, with one horse, he can plant 20 acres with corn per day.
