ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is farming apparatus for customizing the rate at which farming material such as seeds, fertilizers, herbicides and/or insecticides may be applied to an agricultural field. The implement, which deposits the farming material in the soil includes applicators for applying the farming material at predetermined and adjustable rates. In the cab of the tractor is an electronic unit which include apparatus for setting the application rate of the farming material, at least at selected portions of the field, and a communication link between this electronic unit and at least selected applicators on the implement, for conveying information relating to the amount of farming material to be applied for a distance travelled of the implement across the field. Conversion apparatus on the applicator permits converting the amount of farming material to be applied per unit distance to the amount of farming material to be applied per unit of time to thereby account for the speed of the vehicle and thus the implement over the field. The conversion apparatus includes a controller for controlling the applicators regardless of the ground speed to permit the desired amount of material to be applied to the field.
