This video documents the restoration of a 1960's model Allis-Chalmers no-till planter by the Hopkins County Kentucky Central High School FFA Agriculture class.  The planter was similar to the one Harry Young Jr. used in the first no-till crop in Kentucky in 1961. The project was initiated by John and Charles Maddux, Rankin Powell, and Chad Lee with the help of FFA advisor and Ag Teacher, Ben Prevette.
The revived implement was displayed at the new UK Grain and Forage Center of Excellence ribbon cutting.
