A seed flow detector for use with a seed tube, comprised of a pin for extending radially into the seed tube, the end of the pin being orthogonally fixed to one face of a piezoelectric crystal transducer. Flexible resilient material is disposed against the other face of the transducer so as to damp mechanical vibrations below a predetermined frequency. Substantially no build-up of seeds or blockage of the seed tube results, mechanical vibration is substantially damped, while signals resulting from the impact of seeds against the pin are reliably generated.
