Well, you can imagine some sort of towed seed-drill-and-hopper contraption, but how to protect it from field artillery fire? More especially, how to protect the petunias afterwards?

Maybe better to stick with gun tanks - perhaps Mks.IV/IX with 6 pdr APDS - drive the enemy from the field, then encourage the now-liberated citizenry to plant 'em?
