A closing wheel assembly for use in connection with a planter includes at least one set of first and second closing wheels and an adjustment mechanism configured to adjust both lateral positioning and pitch of the closing wheels. The adjustment mechanism has a first adjustment portion configured to adjust the lateral positioning and a second adjustment portion configured to adjust the pitch to facilitate improved covering of a seed during the planting process. The assembly generally includes an arm extending behind the planter and over the first closing wheel, and the second closing wheel is provided behind the first closing wheel where the second closing wheel may be positioned at a different angle and provided at an approximate 5° pitch to effectively pinch the soil back in place after planting.
