A seed metering and delivery apparatus (705, 751, 773, 775, 777, 803, 903, 1003, 1103, 1203), comprising: a seed meter (128, 707) comprising a seed meter disc (709, 714) rotatable about a seed meter disc axis (711), the seed meter disc (709, 714) comprising at least a front face (713) configured to move one or more seeds (1387) at a first seed meter disc (709, 714) speed along a seed supply path (715) to a removal location (717); and a
delivery system (723), comprising: a seed belt (735, 935, 1439) configured to
traverse a seed delivery path (737) around a first seed belt wheel (725, 727) and a second seed belt wheel (731), the seed belt (735, 935, 1439) having at least an
active surface (1309) which supports the one or more seeds (1387) and a wheel surface (292, 210, 212, 1305, 1307, 1309, 1313, 1315, 1317), the first seed belt wheel (725, 727) positioned adjacent the front face (713) of the seed meter disc (709, 714) such that at least some of the
active surface (1309) at least partially crosses the seed supply path (715) at the removal location (717); and a seed belt housing (739) positioned to at least partially cover at least a portion of the seed delivery path (737) opposite the
active surface (1309) of the seed belt (735, 935, 1439), the seed belt housing (739) comprising at least an exterior surface (1305) and an interior surface (1307), the interior surface (1307) arranged opposite the active surface (1309) of the seed belt (735, 935, 1439) forming a pocket space (1311) between the active surface (1309) of the seed belt (735, 935, 1439) and the interior surface (1307).
