Tips on Buying a Planter

Planters, as the name implies, are pieces of agricultural equipment used to plant seeds on an agricultural scale. Obviously, this makes them a key part of any crop-growing operation, so you’ll want to pick the right one for you. Thankfully, the information in this guide from PrarieLand Partners will make finding the right planter easier.

How Big Is Your Property?

Planters vary in size, with smaller ones being cheaper and more compact, and larger ones boasting a larger capacity. That’s why you need to consider the size, shape, and overall terrain of your property. Larger planters might be able to cover more ground, but they can also be more cumbersome depending on the shape of the land.

What Crops Are You Planting?

Different crops are planted at different intervals and depths. Since a planter’s size affects the intervals and depths at which it plants, it’s often worth it to consider the types of crops that you intend to plant when shopping for planters.

How Much Can You Spend?

Obviously, you don’t want to spend more than you can afford on a planter. In certain cases, your planter might need accessories or attachments in order to get the job done correctly. Since these attachments will add to the overall cost, it's usually worth it to create a budget before you start shopping.
