A seed drill is a sowing device that positions seeds in the soil and then covers them. The seed drill sows the seeds at equal distances and proper depth. This ensures that the seeds also get covered with soil. This saves them from being eaten by birds. Before the introduction of the seed drill, the common practice was to plant seeds by hand. Besides being wasteful, planting was very imprecise and led to a poor distribution of seeds, leading to low productivity. Jethro Tull is widely thought of as having invented the seed drill, though earlier the Sumerians used a single-tube seed drill, and the Chinese had also used a multi-tube seed drill. The use of a seed drill can improve the ratio of crop yield (seeds harvested per seed planted) by as much as nine times. In short, the seed drill can be described as a modern agricultural implement used for sowing seeds.
In older methods of planting, a field is initially prepared with a plough to a series of linear cuts known as furrows. The field is then seeded by throwing the seeds over the field, a method known as manual broadcasting. In this method there was not a right depth nor proper distance. Seeds that landed in the furrows had better protection from the elements, and natural erosion or manual raking would preferentially cover them while leaving some exposed. The result was a field planted roughly in rows, but having a large number of plants outside the furrow lanes.
A seed is an embryonic plant enclosed in a protective outer covering known as the seed coat.
It is a characteristic of spermatophytes (gymnosperm and angiosperm plants) and the product of the ripened ovule which occurs after fertilization and some growth within the mother plant. The formation of the seed completes the process of reproduction in seed plants (started with the development of flowers and pollination), with the embryo developed from the zygote and the seed coat from the integuments of the ovule.
Seeds have been an important development in the reproduction and spread of gymnosperm and angiosperm plants, relative to more primitive plants such as ferns, mosses and liverworts, which do not have seeds and use other means to propagate themselves. This can be seen by the success of seed plants (both gymnosperms and angiosperms) in dominating biological niches on land, from forests to grasslands both in hot and cold climates.
The term "seed" also has a general meaning that antedates the above—anything that can be sown, e.g. "seed" potatoes, "seeds" of corn or sunflower "seeds". In the case of sunflower and corn "seeds", what is sown is the seed enclosed in a shell or husk, whereas the potato is a tuber.
Seed drills are more appropriate for planting crops such as oats or soybeans, however most farmers use planters to plant soybeans due to the increased accuracy of planters. Seed drills are more of a 'controlled spill'. Their spacing is usually more appropriate for soybeans, but some planters have interplanters between to rows to give 15" spacing.

In today's Let's Play FS17, set in Watea Valley in New Zealand - In our final look at the Big Bud DLC, we're getting the large 18m Great Plains seed drill, and using the 747, we're planting our fields with beans. It's been a lot of fun using this DLC this week, however they're not really suited to farming in New Zealand, so next week they'll be heading back to the States and we'll be back to farming as normal! Our question for the week - 'Which plough do we get, the Amazone, the Lemkin or the Jympa?' Remember folks, it's your vote, it's your game!
