The Happy Seeder is a tractor-mounted machine that cuts and lifts rice straw, sows wheat into the soil, and deposits the straw over the sown area as mulch.

What is the difference between Happy Seeder and super seeder?

Introduced in 2018, the Super Seeder helps plough the standing paddy residue and sow seeds for the next wheat crop, in a single operation. The machine is technologically superior to the Happy Seeder and is more expensive with a cost of over Rs two lakh. The Super Seeder requires a tractor of 65 hp to pull the machine.
