That type of planting is still used, to a degree in the SW corner of Kansas, and the Oklahoma panhandle, usually only on sandy soils. In the absence of rainfall, there is no moisture to germinate the seeds, because of the sands low water holding capacity, so the "lister" as middlebusters are called here is used to get down to moisture. The seed is planted in the furrow. On furrow irrigated land, the seed is planted on top of the bed, under sprinkler usually no furrows at all are made, same way on dryland on the heavier soils. As to cultivation, they usually do not cultivate dryland in this area. Main dryland row crop here is grain sorghum, dryland corn won't do much at all on sand.
