Automated planting technology demonstrated

The potential future of farming was on display last week as Salin247 performed a live demonstration of their automated planting machine.

Running up and down a field outside of Greene, the prototype planter showed how new technology could save both time and money for farmers during the busy planting season.

"What we're trying to do is bring smaller equipment to the market for farmers," said Dave Krog, who founded the company along with his mechanical engineer son, Ben Krog, and programming engineer, Saeed Arabi.
