corn planter
Maize sowing machine
A corn planter is a machine that plants corn seeds in rows at uniform depth and spacing.
Early versions were hand-pushed devices; modern corn planters are large implements pulled by tractors, capable of planting multiple rows simultaneously.
The term also refers historically to a farmer who grows corn as a primary crop, particularly in the American South and Midwest.
