    Long ago the people did not know anything about a hayseed barrow. They used to sow all the hayseed with the hand. The hayseed barrow is a very quick way of sowing hayseed besides the hand. The farmers nowadays would sow about three barrels in a day with the hayseed barrow. It is a very handy way towards the hand.
