Zusammenfassung:	An improved bulk transfer system for an agricultural seeder or planter breaks up the central fill system into two stages for supplying a plurality of granular agricultural products simultaneously to an array of metering pods, each pod containing a plurality of metering assemblies. Firstly, there is a continuous transfer of agricultural product from a trailing product cart to a central fill system located adjacent the seeding drills and plurality of metering assemblies. The central fill system incorporates mini tanks for receiving the continuous transfer of granular agricultural products. Secondly, product is continuously transferred from the mini tanks to each of the corresponding metering assemblies along the seeding drill. This arrangement enables redistribution of the weight of the bulk of the product farther away from the seeding drills, allowing for greater tow-behind product volumes.
