A seed meter includes an input port configured to receive a supply of
seeds and an output port configured to deliver the supply of seeds for
dispensing to a planting area and a seed disk configured to receive the
supply of seeds from the input port and deliver the supply of seeds to
the output port at a substantially uniform rate. The seed disk has a seed
side where seeds flow from the input port, and a vacuum side opposite the
seed side. The seed meter further includes a first housing portion
surrounding a first portion of the seed disk in a fixed relationship to
direct the supply of seeds against the seed disk and a second housing
portion. The second housing portion is configured to move between a first
position extending to a second portion of the seed disk to operate in
concert with the first housing portion to direct the supply of seeds
against the seed disk and a second position providing access to at least
a portion of the second portion of the seed disk including the lowest
most portion of the seed disk.
