A relatively narrow cover crop planter for attachment to a relatively wide tillage implement such as a field cultivator, the tillage implement having a frame designed for rigid attachment to the frame of the tillage implement so that when the frame of the tillage implement is raised for transport purposes, the planter is likewise raised. The planter has a seed hopper with a row of seed delivery spouts and three rows of rearwardly directed teeth, the forwardmost row of which is designed to break up the soil clumps loosened by the tillage implement, the second row of which are aligned with and ahead of the seed delivery spouts and are designed for form seed receiving grooves, and the rearwardmost row of which is disposed back of the seed delivery spouts but laterally displaced therefrom to cover the seed. The planter has a ground engaging wheel for driving the agitator of the planter. When the tillage implement and planter are raised to a transport position, the support for the ground engaging wheel will drop down and close off seed openings at the bottom of said hopper to prevent discharge of seed during the transporting of the equipment.
