A seed metering device is 5 mounted on the rear of the tyne shank and has an outlet operably connected to, but preferably isolated from, the inlet to the seeding boot. The inlet to the seed metering device is connected to a seed hopper or reservoir mounted on the tyne shank, or receives seeds pneumatically conveyed from a seed supply on the cultivating machine. 10 The seed metering device is preferably isolated against shocks or vibrations from the tyne shank. A cultivating machine preferably has one or more toolbars, each provided with a plurality of the tynes, so arranged to enable the planting of seeds, at equal spacings, in equally spaced rows. 1818058_13/9 *( 00 0 & 00 0 0 0 0 r-4
