A major portion of any farm's annual budget is purchasing treated seeds. The depletion of the soil, unpredictable weather patterns, and a need for more food requires Seed Treatment for protection. Chemicals add protection and fortify seeds so crops will be successful. Farmers order seeds months in advance to ensure they will be delivered in time to plant.

Seed Treating Process

This is an expensive and potentially wasteful process. Large corporations utilize massive Seed Treaters to coat seeds in a limited combination of chemical blends. The seeds travel on a conveyor belt that leads to the packaging machinery. Many seeds do not get covered or are only partially covered with chemicals.

The conveyor belt is moving fast and some seeds lose their coating in transit. Packaging can also cause the coating to rub off and seeds to be damaged. The result is inconsistent treatment so protection is not predictable. After paying for the seed, crops can still have low yields. Once the seed is delivered, it cannot be returned and cannot be saved for the next growing season.

A Simple Solution

A box seed treater is now available to farmers so they can treat their own seeds just before planting. The barrel and conveyor components have a unique design to coat virtually every seed and move it gently into the planting equipment. Small batches and no need for packaging reduce seed damage and provide consistent coverage. There is no waste because seeds can be treated as needed.

The machinery is affordable and comes in three different sizes to accommodate the needs of any farm. The smallest size is for use on farms that plant twenty-five hundred units. The middle model is ideal for medium-sized farms that plant up to five-thousand units. The largest box to box treater accommodates seventy-five hundred units. Custom chemical blends are available as well.

Cost

The machinery is cost-effective and can provide a complete return on the investment in the first season. Some farmers enjoy a full return after two seasons. The purchase and use of these machines are much less expensive than buying treated seeds from a third party. The on-farm setup process is included in the purchase price.

Flexible financing is offered to cater to local planting cycles. Farmers can select monthly, quarterly, or annual payments for their convenience. Get more out of treated seeds by treating them on-site as needed. Yields will improve, and money will be saved on operating costs well into the future.
