Abstract:
A process and system are provided for preparing seed mixes having a target quantity and a target ratio of different types of seeds. The process generally includes portioning quantities of different types of seeds from bulk supplies of the seeds, and combining the portioned quantities of seeds to prepare the seed mixes. The system generally includes first and second dispensing assemblies for portioning the quantities of the different types of seeds from the bulk supplies, and a mixing assembly for receiving the portioned quantities of seeds as the seed mixes. The combined quantities of the different types of seeds in the seed mixes are substantially equal to the target quantity, and a ratio of the quantities of the different types of seeds is substantially equal to the target ratio.

Claim (Index 18):
A process for combining different types of seeds into a seed mix, the process comprising:\n portioning a quantity of a first type of seed from a bulk supply of the first type of seed; delivering the portioned quantity of the first type of seed to a seed mixing assembly; portioning a quantity of a second type of seed from a bulk supply of the second type of seed and delivering the portioned quantity of the second type of seed to a hopper; analyzing the portioned quantity of the second type of seed; when the analysis indicates that the portioned quantity of the second type is acceptable for the seed mix, delivering the portioned quantity of the second type of seed from the hopper to the seed mixing assembly; when the analysis indicates that the portioned quantity of the second type is not acceptable for the seed mix, emptying the portioned quantity of the second type from the hopper without delivering the portioned quantity of the second type to the seed mixing assembly; and when the portioned quantity of the second type is delivered to the seed mixing assembly, combining, by the seed mixing assembly, the portioned quantities of the first and second types of seeds to prepare the seed mix, wherein the combined quantities of the first and second types of seeds in the seed mix are substantially equal to a target quantity, and wherein a ratio of the quantity of the first type of seed to the quantity of the second type of seed is substantially equal to a target ratio.
