Thank you for your feedback. In the making ...Hello,<br />Thank you for your feedback. In the making of this pouch, I did research broadcast bags from the region, and found a few images like this painting by Jean Millet (http://www.galilean-library.org/images/david/05.sower.jpg) as well as a margin from the Bayeux Tapestry (http://users.breathe.com/martin.reeve/tapestry.2.jpg) and found that, as you have said, throughout history broadcast bags seemed to be little more than a simple cloth sack to hold seeds. The end user of this bag was not interested in a rough sack but rather sought a decorative piece of wearable and usable folk art. They guided me as to the size they wanted. They operate a small organic farm in Normandy, France, and assured me it would suit their needs. It was given as a Father's Day gift to a husband from a wife, and I am proud to have them use it.<br />thank you,<br />Eric Ewing<br />thehighwaymen123https://www.blogger.com/profile/12613677911875906640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2475406891215884280.post-23323008504962310552013-09-01T14:38:50.702-04:002013-09-01T14:38:50.702-04:00If you have ever broad cast seeded a field you wou...If you have ever broad cast seeded a field you would find that this pouch would be in adequate in capacity. You would be walking back to the main seed container and in doing so you would loose track of the portion of field that you had planted. This may work for seeding a large radish patch.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2475406891215884280.post-30407288954185527822013-09-01T10:16:55.687-04:002013-09-01T10:16:55.687-04:00must be a wealthy farmer.

My father planted large fields (40 acres, so not so large) using one of these and this method.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
