Abstract: A liquid metering system for an agricultural implement is modular, having individual metering pumps for each crop row. The pumps are individually controlled for precise application of the liquid input and are preferable electrically driven. A common pump is used, making the system modular in that varying sizes of implements can be produced by varying the number of pumps. A common supply line is used to supply a liquid input from a reservoir to the pumps. Each pump is connected to the common supply line. By connecting each pump to the common supply line, the difficulty of routing individual hoses from a central pump to each row unit are overcome.

Abstract: A seed hopper for a seeding machine is provided with a plastic bin having a substantially horizontal open top that is enclosed by a plastic lid. The bin has two sidewalls having a track extending the length of the bin. The lid is provided with two inwardly extending pins that engage the track. The lid has forward closed position and a rear fully opened position. In moving the lid from a forward closed position to a rear fully opened position the pins slide along the track. At the rear fully opened position the lid can be pivoted on the pins so that it assumes a opened vertical holding position. The lid and bin are provided with cooperating latching structures for latching the lid in its forward closed position.
