High-volume mobile seed treatment plants are gaining momentum for custom operations and on big farms.

According to Jeff Young from CanSeed Equipment, customers are able to do a lot of custom work with these mobile seed treatment plants. "They're making good money because they've figured out this is not just a short-season machine like a combine or a drill. They can do a lot of custom work to stretch out the investment," he says.

He adds that seed doesn't have to go from the treatment plant straight into the ground - customers will pre-treat then put the seed back into the bin until they need it.

CanSeed Equipment has their own mobile seed treatment plant which has a hopper with a seed metering wheel with cup-weight calibration. The metering wheel is a volumetric measuring system with two inlets, two outlets and eight pockets of seed that rotate around a centre pivot. The plant is also accurate within 99 percent, and all calibration settings are retained for multiple seed types.
