Cover crop seed applicator for agricultural harvesting header

Abstract

An agricultural machine configured to harvest a crop by advancing a crop harvesting header across a field, the agricultural machine presenting a fore-and-aft extending longitudinal axis that extends in a travel direction, the harvesting header having a header frame that mounts a cutting platform configured to sever crop being harvested, the header frame having a header axis that extends perpendicular to the direction of travel, wherein the agricultural machine has a cover crop seed dispensing apparatus with a seed dispenser and a distribution line mounted along the header frame, the distribution line having a plurality of distribution points at spaced intervals along the header axis. The seed dispenser meters seed delivery to the distribution line so as to distribute cover crop seed from the plurality of distribution points as the harvesting header severs crop from the field.
