The present disclosure relates to a planter (10) which is particularly suitable for planting seed potatoes (13). The planter (10) comprises a furrow opener (14), a furrow coverer, a hopper (18) and a terminal conveyor (20) having a support section (34) arranged to transport seeds between receipt and release locations (32, 33). A feed arrangement (19) directs seeds from the hopper (18) to the receipt location (32). A release device (37) is positioned proximate to the release location (33) and selectively holds a seed (13) on the terminal conveyor (20) and subsequently releases the seed (13) such that the seed (13) drops from the terminal conveyor (20) into the furrow. The support section (34) extends downwardly from the receipt location (32) such that, in use, the release location (33) is closer to the terrain than the receipt location (32). The terminal conveyor (20) comprises a continuous moveable belt (40) and at least part of the continuous moveable belt (40) forms the support section (34). Part of the continuous moveable belt (40), forming at least a portion of the support section (34), comprises a U-shaped cross-section for receiving the seeds (13).
