ABSTRACT:
A planter as heretofore commercially available may be modified to accept a seed trench covering assembly of superior design, also commercially available, by lengthening the frame of the planter to increase the available space between the opener and the rear press wheel and by providing front and rear adapter brackets which enable the superior covering assembly to be coupled at the front to the opener and at the upper rear to the overhead frame. Different configurations of front adapter brackets are provided to accommodate variously shaped opener housings, and different configurations of rear adapter brackets are provided to accommodate variations in frame design.
