Abstract: A single disk opener blade is supported for rotation about a horizontal axis offset approximately seven degrees from the transverse direction. A seed tube extends closely adjacent the disk blade forwardly of the rotational axis generally in the shadow of the leading edge of the blade. The tube is angled around the disk blade hub to provide a narrow profile and to reduce the vertical velocity of the material deposited in the furrow. A furrow-firming and blade-scraping extension is connected to the lower end of the tube and extends rearwardly to a location behind the axis. The side of the firming extension is located transversely beyond the shadow of the disk blade to help form one side of the seed trench and to permit the seed to settle in the trench. Depth control structure includes a wheel support arm fixed to one end of the disk blade spindle and a quadrant fixed to the opposite end of the spindle for selectively adjusting the arm.
