Liquid distribution apparatus for distributing liquid into a seed furrow

Abstract

An extension for use with a planter, drill, or other farming implement having a seed tube that deposits seed in a furrow. The extension defines protrusions for attaching one or more liquid distribution apparatuses arranged to distribute liquid in a furrow well above the seeds, on the seeds, or both.

1 . An extension for use with a planter for properly placing seeds in a furrow, the planter including at least one liquid supply hose for distributing liquid into the seed furrow, the seed furrow having a centrally located bottom portion and a first sidewall and a second sidewall, the first sidewall and the second sidewall extending upwardly and outwardly from the centrally located bottom portion of the furrow, said extension comprising: 
 an elongate flexible body member defining a generally arcuate shape which provides a generally downwardly and rearwardly sweeping orientation, and also defining an upper and lower segment; 
 the upper segment attachable to the planter;  
 the lower segment configured to depend downwardly and rearwardly from the planter and extendible into the seed furrow; and  
 the lower segment defining a means for securing a liquid distribution apparatus thereto.  
   
   
   
       2 . The extension of  claim 1  further comprising a means for distributing liquid into the seed furrow connected with the lower segment.
