<p>An apparatus for sowing seed comprises a hopper (101) having three separate compartments (102, 103 and 104), the hopper (101) has an inlet at the top which is covered by a lid (106) and has an outlet (105) at the bottom. The compartment (102) is much larger than the compartment (103) and is approximately twice as deep. The compartment (103) is located in the top half of the hopper (101) to a side thereof and is separated from the compartment (102) by a wall (107) having a movable top section (108). The compartment (102) comprises side wall (101a), wall (107) and partition (109) which extends from side wall (101a) below and around an agitator (110) and joins with wall (107). The partition (109) has a horizontal section at the bottom of the compartment (102) wherein a rectangular slot (111) is provided. Directly below this is a fluted roll (112) and a base plate (113) which help form a seed feeding arrangement. Compartment (103) has a similar seed feeding arrangement formed from fluted roll (116) and base plate (117) which are located directly below the rectangular slot (115) and partition (114). Seed from the compartment (103) passes through its seed feeding arrangement through channel (118) and passes with seed from compartment (102) through outlet (105).</p> |
