Abstract:
A multi-variety seed meter can include a set of divider walls in a seed chamber to promote seed delivery on a first-in-first-out (FIFO) basis. This can be helpful to reduce the amount of seed variety mixing which may occur at transition points while planting in an agricultural field, since the first variety can be substantially exhausted from the seed meter before the second variety begins to get picked up by a seed transport member.
