SPRINGFIELD, Illinois (April 19, 2012) – BRANDT, a company synonymous with modern innovation, was recently featured for its use of a prototype planter intended to maximize research efforts and results at its Research Farm in Pleasant Plains, Illinois. Many farmers and ag businesses plant test plots to see how different varieties of seeds grow in different conditions. Typically each test gets one pass through the field. But Monsanto has created a new planter that can vary the planting rate(how many seeds per acre), the insecticide rate, and even what variety is planted. And it does it all on the fly, several times per pass. Today this generation 5 planter is in Central Illinois. ABC News Channel 20's Mike Brooks takes a closer look.   See the Video >
