PLANTER APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PLANTING Abstract of the Disclosure A method and apparatus for planting seeds. A V-shaped seed furrow having a predetermined depth is continuously formed while the soil adjacent each side of the furrow is uniformly firmed or compacted and a smooth surface formed. Seeds are continuously dispensed into the furrow. The walls of the furrow are then com- pacted about the seed as the furrow edges are collapsed over the seed to leave a comparatively non-compacted layer of soil above the seed. The planter is provided with a pair of furrow forming disks rotating about intersecting axes, a pair of gauge wheels rotatably supported rearwardly of the disk axes, each wheel being in close proximity to the outer surface of its respective disk, a seed dispensing means for delivering seed to the furrow, and a furrow closing device supported rearwardly of and in tracking relation to the gauge wheels.
