Planter having a seeding system
12356884 · 2025-07-15 · ·

A seeding machine moves over the ground and includes a frame, at least one hopper containing seeds to be planted and planting row units connected to the frame. Each of the row units includes a seed metering device that separates and guides individual seeds into a planting position, and a shaft that reciprocates with respect to the frame through a stroke path. The stroke path includes extension towards the ground to a lowered position and retraction away from the ground to a raised position. The shaft engages one of the seeds from the planting position while the shaft is near the raised position. The shaft moves the one of the seeds downward while the shaft extends toward the ground to create an opening in the ground by pressing the one of the seeds into ground while the shaft is near the lowered position.

Method for locating and planting sentinel plants
12382856 · 2025-08-12 · ·

A planter configured for planting a sentinel plant in a field. The planter comprises a first planting system that is coupled to the planter. The first planting system is configured for planting a first sentinel plant having a first sentinel plant characteristic. A global positioning system is communicatively coupled to the planter. The global positioning system is configured for generating a location signal indicative of a location of the planter. A control system is communicatively coupled to the planter. The control system is configured to receive the first sentinel plant characteristic, receive the location signal, receive a georeferenced field characteristic, and control the first planting system based on at least one of the first sentinel plant characteristic, the location, or the georeferenced field characteristic.

Sub-surface injection system for subsurface blending and horizon creation

A sub-surface injection system for subsurface blending and horizon creation includes wings (105B, 519A, 511C, 513C, 519C), partially actuated mixing wings (205B, 309A, 411C, 419C, 511A, 519A, 511B, 513B, and 521B), an electromagnet, AI robot (1107C), lens (1205), computer (111C), a PLC (1105C), encoder (1305B), limit switch (1409B), and a GPS (1113C). The wings (105B) are actuated by the electromagnet. The wings (105B) include blades (911B, 913B, and 915B), the partially actuated mixing wings (513B) during descension and/or ascension, and industrial diamonds or blades to cut through sub-surface impediments. The wings (105B, 519A, 511C, 513C, 519C) are controlled by the A1 robot (1107C), the lens (1205), the computer (1111C), the PLC (1105C), the encoder (1305B), the limit switch (1409B), and the sensor. The wings (511C, 513C, 519C) exist within a below portion or an above portion of a hollow shaft drilling array and are individually controlled by one or more of the AI robot (1107C), lens (1205), computer (1111C), PLC (1105C), encoder (1305B), limit switch (1409B)}, and the sensor. The wings (511C) include a secondary deployable blade to enhance cutting or reaming through an impediment comprising clays and rack. The wings (519A) integrate sensors based on Lidar technology. The sensors receive commands and signals from the Al robot (1107C), the lens (1205), computer (1111C), PLC (1105C), encoder (13058), and the limit switch (1409B). The wings (105B, 519A. 511C, 513C, 519C) are deploved based on the data about soil type and amendment prescription received from the GPS (1113C).
