Aerial seed trials at Ames explore corn planting from air
At the Ames research station Asgrow Seed Company tests aerial seeding of corn on about 3.5 acres. Manager John Batcha notes this is exploratory in 1969 while pilot Bob Shrier broadcasts seed at 80 to 85 mph from 15 to 20 feet high. Questions remain on population timing dispersion and equipment for harvest, with September to bring more results.
