This piece of equipment automates the simultaneous planting of two rows of crops such as corn or other large seeds. A small bar or plow on the front of each side of the machine digs a furrow of the proper depth in the soil. Seeds are then metered out of the bottom of each supply can into the furrow at proper spacing. The twin angled rims of the big rear wheels then fold the sides of the furrow over the seeds and lightly tamp the soil in place.
