Grand Forks-based Air Seeder Parts has a new tool available for the spring planting season. Dan Altepeter, who also farms, said this invention solved a problem he was having. “We had a problem with different types of seed, like oats, barley and grass seed,” said Altepeter. “We were always having trouble with it; it just wouldn’t flow into the meter on the air seeder as it should.” The plan was to provide extra agitation to keep the product flowing. The Double Agitator is an aftermarket kit for John Deere seeders. “We started selling them now here this spring and we’ve taken quite a few orders and I think there’s going to be a lot of them running in the field this spring.”
