PURPOSE: To prevent the excessive or deficient delivery of seedlings by memorizing the moving direction and the position of a seedling table when a levee clutch is disconnected and restarting the gyration of a seedling planting rod at the memorized moving direction and the position.

CONSTITUTION: When a levee clutch 38 is disconnected, the moving direction and the position of seedling tables 4a to 4d are stored in a memory of a controlling apparatus 44. In the case of coupling the levee clutch, the gyration of the seedling planting rod 5 is restarted when the seedling table moving in the memorized direction reaches the memorized position.
