The purpose of the present invention is to provide a feeding device that can correctly spot sew each of a fixed number of seeds into the surface of a field. To achieve this purpose, provided is a feeding device in which a feeding roll A is disposed in a lower part of a seed hopper H, objects fed from a seed dropping opening 19 of the seed hopper H are allowed to drop into the insides of feeding recesses 1 that are open in a circumferential surface of the feeding roll A, the feeding roll A is caused to rotate, and the fed objects are scraped and leveled by a scraping brush 3 that is made to contact the surfaces of the feeding recesses 1 and are allowed to drop from a seed dropping opening 20. A shielding plate 2 is provided so as to extend in the vertical direction in an upper part of the seed dropping opening 19 through which the fed objects drop into the insides of the feeding recesses 1. The scraping brush 3 is provided so as to extend vertically behind the shielding plate 2 in the rotational direction and at the topmost point of the upward rotation of the feeding roll A and is made to contact the feeding roll A. |
