Patent ID: 8464911

Claim:
An apparatus for holding and delivering seed, the apparatus including: a container having a first compartment and a second compartment, the first compartment storing a first type of seed and the second compartment storing a second type of seed; and a gate moveably coupled to the container, the gate being moveable to: a first closed position preventing the first type of seed to empty from the first compartment and preventing the second type of seed to empty from second compartment; a first open position permitting the first type of seed to empty from the first compartment and at the same time permitting the second type of seed to empty from the second compartment, the first compartment and the second compartment segregating the first type of seed from the second type of seed until the first type of seed and the second type of seed are emptied from the first compartment and the second compartment, respectively, the first open position defining a first ratio of the first type of seed being emptied from the first compartment to the second type of seed being emptied from the second compartment; and a second open position defining a second ratio of the first type of seed being emptied from the first compartment to the second type of seed being emptied from the second compartment when the gate is in the second open position, the second ratio being generally equal to the first ratio.
