An improved particulate meteringsystem is provided. The system includes an airflow origin and a plurality of particulate accelerators.A single particulate source is in communicationwith the particulate accelerators. Each of aplurality of operated conveyances can be in operablecommunication with the single particulatesource and one of the particulate accelerators. Thesystem includes a confluence of the air flow andthe particulate within the mixing area of each ofthe particulate accelerators. Each of a plurality ofdischarges can be associated with the particulateaccelerators. The operated conveyances can operateat different rates. The system can include oneor more gearboxes adapted to be inverted and controlledby a second drive system. The improvedsystem and controls provide variable applicationrates of particulate across rows in a field.
