In contrast to the early days of seeding by hand or casting handfuls of seed, most seed is now sown using a seed drill, which offers greater precision since seed can be sown evenly at a specified rate. The seed drill also places the seed precisely below the soil, so that less seed is required. Grain drills are most often pulled by tractors, and previously pulled by horses. The major field crops sown are oats, wheat, and rye; grasses and legumes are seeded and maize and soybeans are planted. In planting, the intent is to have precise; even spacing between individual seeds in the row with individual seeds planted at exact intervals.
