See full text

A farm implement having a frame and a plurality of row units mounted on the frame with each row unit including a tool. Each row unit has at least one gauge wheel associated therewith with a spring urging each gauge wheel into contact with the soil to be worked by the tools. A single trash blade rotatably is mounted on an arm pivotally mounted on the frame associated with each gauge wheel ahead of the associated tool. A spring continually urges each trash blade toward contact with the soil ahead of the associated tool, with the plane of each trash blade being angularly displaced from the direction of travel of the associated gauge wheel in the range of from about 22.degree. to about 30.degree. and being angularly displaced to the vertical in the range of from about 20.degree. to about 30.degree. to move trash from ahead of the tool to form a row of trash between adjacent row units.
