A seeder airflow control system for accurately placing seeds in a furrow at approximately zero velocity with respect to the ground surface. The seeder airflow control system includes a first tube connected to a seed singulator, a second tube having a plurality of openings movably positioned about the first tube, and an actuator connected between the first tube and the second tube for adjusting the relative position of the tubes with respect to one another. The second tube is fluidly connected to a seed delivery tube that has a lower segment that is positionable adjacent and parallel to the bottom of a furrow to deliver the seed at a velocity of approximately zero with respect to the ground surface. When the tubes are extended away from one another, an increased number of the openings within the second tube are exposed thereby decreasing the air pressure and velocity through the delivery tube. When the tubes are contracted toward one another, a decreased number of the openings within the second tube are exposed thereby increasing the air pressure and velocity through the delivery tube.
