Dr Nick, the inventor behind the Seed Terminator shares how to design a mill to kill weed seeds onboard a combine harvester.

The Seed Terminator is a simple attachment to the combine harvester that terminates weed seeds before they become weeds. Our mission to empower farmers with technology that can help them efficiently feed the world and leave their farm to the next generation in a better state than they found it.
