A planter includes seed meters with accelerator wheel systems. Each accelerator wheel system receives singulated seeds from a respective seed meter and spaces the seeds with respect to each other to correct timing and thus spacing anomalies of seeds being released from seed disks of the seed meters at incorrect seed disk release events. Each accelerator wheel system adjusts and to adjust the velocity of the seeds to correspond to planter travel speed for releasing the seeds to drop straight down onto the field, without a horizontal velocity. Seeds are rotationally redirected from a generally downward delivery direction from a seed disk to a generally horizontal delivery direction out of the accelerator wheel system, opposite the tractor and implement travel direction.
