   Not Seeded                              Cross Slot

Lentils seeded by Cross Slot – consistent depth control.

   Seeded with a JD 455 - notice the lentil seeds

   Seeded with the Cross Slot - notice no seeds on the surface

Seeded with Cross Slot

Seeded with Cross Slot -Notice the high straw residue
and little weed competition.

Seeded with JD 455
Unable to seeded into the high straw residue.

Barley Seeded in a two pass system.  Fertilizer shanked in, then seeded with JD 455 - looks fairly good except for some thin spots. (top-right was seeded with Cross Slot in one pass.

Barley seeded with the Cross Slot at the same time as the barley was seeded with the two pass system.
