Abstract:
An agricultural seeder implement includes a seed boot connected to an opener. The seed boot includes a channel extending from an inlet to an outlet behind a leading extremity of the opener, a deflecting surface facing downwardly into the channel toward the outlet, and a ramp facing inwardly into the channel between the inlet and the outlet. The opener is for cutting a furrow in the ground by the leading extremity ahead of the outlet, and the channel is for guiding a stream of air-driven seed forwardly therethrough from the inlet and downwardly into the furrow through the outlet, wherein the ramp is in-turned toward the deflecting surface for deflecting the stream of air-driven seed through the channel inwardly to the deflecting surface, and the deflecting surface is for deflecting the stream of air-driven seed received from the ramp downwardly to and through the outlet into the furrow.
