Title
Automated Corn Planting
Description
In 1995, a tractor attached to an automated corn planter seeds a field. Bags of Ciba seed are used.
Interpretation
Today, automation is a main key of farming. Technology allows precise planting without missing rows in ways it could not do 100 years ago when the first planters were invented.
