AGRICULTURAL PLANTERS ABSTRACT OF DISCLOSURE An agricultural planter producing a fertilizer trench and a laterally adjacent seed furrow in uncultivated soil covered with trash, such as residue from a previous crop, and growing vegetation, utilizes a forwardly mounted disc for cutting the trash and concurrently forming a fertilizer trench. A pair of rotary forks concurrently move the trash laterally away from the fertilizer trench and impact fragmentizes the soil adjacent each wall of the trench to fill the trench with soil particles immediately behind the deposition of fertilizer. A conventional seed furrow opening apparatus extending rearwardly from the planter forms a seed furrow laterally adjacent to the fertilizer trench into which seeds are sequentially deposited. A pair of rotary forks are mounted on the planter on opposite sides of the open seed furrow and at a location rearwardly of the seed depositing mechanism. Each said rotary fork has a hub portion for rotational mounting on the planter and a plurality of radially projecting rigid tines rigidly secured to the hub portion; said tines having an arcuate configuration in a radial plane, thereby producing a convex soil engaging surface which imparts an impacting action to the soil adjacent the sidewall of the fertilizer trench and the seed furrow to fragmentize both sidewalls of the seed furrow to cover the deposited seed with the fragmentized soil particles, while moving the loose trash out of the anticipated path of the seed furrow.
