Singulating arrangement and extraction from singulating meter

A singulating meter apparatus comprising:

• a housing and a two-row seed disc operative to be rotated inside the housing about a disc rotational axis;
• concentric inner and outer aperture rows of seed apertures defined by a seed side of the two-row seed disc wherein the outer aperture row is spaced along an outer circular path with an outer radius, and the inner aperture row is spaced along an inner circular path with an inner radius that is less than the outer radius;
• and
• a seed output port operative to receive seeds from the seed apertures in the inner and outer aperture rows;
• wherein the seed output port is operative, when in a single mode, to dispense the seeds received from the inner and outer aperture rows into a single seed conduit defining a single flow path for seeds received from both the inner and outer aperture rows, and wherein the seed output port is operative, when in a dual mode, to dispense the seeds received from the seed apertures in the outer aperture row into an outer seed conduit, and is further operative when in the dual mode to dispense the seeds received from the seed apertures in the inner aperture row into an inner seed conduit.

• and
• a seed counting sensor operative to count the seeds passing through the seed output port to the inner and outer seed conduits.
