Abstract
A seed planting system includes a seed storage tank to store seeds. A seed meter is fluidly coupled to the seed storage tank via a flow path, in which the seed meter receives seeds from the seed storage tank and distributes the seeds to ground engaging opener assemblies. A seed deflector is coupled to the seed storage tank directly above the flow path. The seed deflector guides the seeds from the seed storage tank into the flow path at an angle relative to a vertical axis of the flow path.
