Broadcast spreading
is as old as early man.
In the early days of
agriculture, field seed-
ing was accomplished
with hand cast broad-
casting. The hand
cast method of seed-
ing was a limited fac-
tor in growing field
crops that were hand
seeded.
Mechanized casting
came into being in
1868 when Samuel
Speicher invented the
Hand Crank "Cyclone"
Seeder.
The seed sower was a
breakthrough in field
seeding. It was hailed
as a major advance-
ment in agricultural
implements.
Paul Speicher put the
hand crank seeder on
wheels in 1955.
This development ush-
ered in a new era in
spreading and spread-
ing products. New
products and product
forms adapted to
broadcast spreading
were developed.
In 1988 a new dimen-
sion was added to
broadcast spreading -
SPREAD PATTERN
CONTROL - a dead
center spread pattern
equalizer.

spread pattern equal-
izer solves a compli-
cated problem with a
fundamental patented
