GIBBINS Farm Implement Co., established in 1878 in Melbourne, Australia, was a manufacturer specializing in agricultural machinery, including discs, harrows, grader blades, and cultivation equipment.
One of their notable products was the dry seed pickler, made in the 1920s, a device designed to treat seeds before planting. Seed pickling, or seed dressing, involves applying chemical treatments to seeds to protect them from soil-borne diseases and pests, thereby enhancing germination rates and crop yields.
