An equidistant planting system (10) for accurately placing seeds in a furrow thereby providing increased crop yields. The inventive device includes a rim member (30) having a lower opening (32), a main disk (40) rotatably positioned within the rim member (30), a plurality of feeder tubes (60) attached to the main disk (40), a center disk (50) secured to the main disk (40) having a plurality of receiving channels (52) that correspond with each of the feeder tubes (60), a plurality of first apertures (54) extending through the center disk (50) and the main disk (40) adjacent each of the receiving channels (52), and a manifold (20) having an end cutout (26) rotatably positioned about the center disk (50). As the distal end of the feeder tube (60) passes over the lower opening (32) within the rim member (30), the seed is released at approximately zero velocity with respect to the ground surface thereby reducing seed movement after placement.
