Abstract
An agriculture cultivator marker to make a soil furrow during the last pass of field preparation prior to planting. The furrow mark is centered on the cultivator. The tractor with planting implement then centers on the marked soil furrow to ease the process of planting close to field edges and obstacles. The arm holding the cultivator marker rotating disk is adjustable for accurate soil contact. The cultivator marker arm and rotating disk fold flat when not in use to avoid interference with surroundings.
