As an recently ex small regenerative farmer, seeding is a well understood process - tools like the Jang or four-row seeder make it fast and easy. What really peeved me was the repetitive, uncreative aspects, primarily the cultivation - I can't think of many less exciting things than walking up and down beds of crops too small to have a closed canopy dragging a cultivation hoe as close to the rows as feasible. Its one thing when the plants are big enough for some variation; but by then theyve shaded out the weeds and its not needed.
I would love a tool like this, even if it required setting up some sort of track, which could run a standard seeder on a precise path and then habitually run a standard cultivating hoe within a quarterinch of the rows it seeded without me thinking about it. I could never rig up something suitable on a BCS toolbar, its bed clearance wasnt enough. Being able to not interact with a crop beyond irrigation maintenace, filling seed hoppers, and harvesting/bed flipping would be amazing.
