Why can’t we use agricultural equipment to plant forests?

312 views

Every season we have farmers plant fields. Sometimes 100’s of archers large. They have heavy machinery. And with just a handful of men. They are able to plow and seed these fields.
Why can’t the same skill set and machinery plant a forest? Say, in the midwest or on the out skirts of the Dust Bowl? Or in the ever eroding South American Rain Forest?

Lumber *is* farmed, meaning they plant trees in lots. One lot gets cut down one year and is replanted, then the next lot gets cut down and replanted next year, and so on and so forth.

At least, that’s how it’s done in North America.
