ABSTRACT:
An attachment for a minimum tillage planter which is mounted forwardly of the planting shoe for removing residue from in front of such planting apparatus for the purpose of allowing consistency in the making of a trench and for the depositing of seeds therein in a consistent manner. The attachment generally includes a first center flat disc having a circular structure attached thereto for controlling the depth at which the planter rides above the ground. A pair of additional discs are mounted on each side of the depth control structure and on each side of the center flat disc. These additional discs are convex on the side adjacent to the first disc and concave on the other side thereof. The position of the additional discs are such that they do not extend into the ground as far as the first disc whereby the first disc will hold residue, such as a corn stalk, while the other discs which are higher will cut the residue off and then throw it to one side or the other.
