The furrow firming edge extends between a lower edge of the inner side and a lower edge of the outer side. The furrow firming edge includes an opening positioned below an axis of the disk and in communication with an internal seed delivery tube that extends the length of the housing. At least one side wear insert is attached to the lower edge of the outer side of the seed boot to prevent side and down force wear of the seed boot.
