Sounds like you need to find an old hand corn planter, the kind you stab into the ground and then open or close the handles to get the seed to drop. They use a little plate type device to pick up a seed from the hopper.

A dibble with a depth stop on it would give you a hole for the seed at a regular depth. A dibble is just a pointed stick usually made of steel or aluminum for making a planting hole. Lehman Bros hardware might have some old time stuff. http://www.lehmans.com/store/Tools_Farm___Farming?Args=&view_all=&s...

Any Amish folks in your area? They might have some ideas.
