70 sits behind the cutting member 66 with this construction the cutting member 66 cuts a ledge into the sidewall of the furrow and seed is placed onto the ledge as the seed drops through the seed tube outlet 70 the cutting member 66 generally includes an angled cutting face 76 that in one embodiment includes a wear resistant insert 78 such as a carbide insert in one preferred embodiment the seed tube 64 and the cutting member 66 and its header 72 are formed as a single assembly as described above in one embodiment the seed boot 16 has a generally flat header 72 with mounting holes not numbered formed therein that align with mounting holes in the disc mount 20 and fasteners 74 such as bolts may be used to couple the seed boot 16 to the disc mount 20 it is understood however that the seed boot 16 could be mounted to the disc mount 20 in other ways for example as shown in fig1 a clamp 80 could be used similarly as shown in fig1 clamp 80 could be used to mount the seed boot 16 to the trailing arm 24 of the press wheel 26 in yet another embodiment and referring to fig1 holes not shown could be formed in the trailing arm 24 to allow the header 72 of the seed boot 16 to be fastened to the trailing arm 24 using fasteners 74 in a manner similar to the mounting to.
