Patent abstract
An integral cast seed boot is provided with a mounting assembly for securing the seed boot to a planting unit frame. A single furrow opener disc is rotatively mounted to the planting unit frame by a bearing assembly. The seed boot defines a seed entry passage having an inlet for receiving seed from a seed meter and an outlet for depositing metered seed into a seed planting furrow formed by the furrow opener. The seed inlet is located in front of the mounting assembly. The seed entry passage slopes continuously and uniformly downwardly and rearwardly from the inlet to the outlet. The outlet is located below the bearing assembly of the furrow opener disc.
