Hi Hugh! I was mulling over the issues about the various row widths you mentioned. As a dyed in the wool vegetable gardner, I tend to think of some vegetables as "row crops" like corn, beans, root vegetables, brassicas, etc. And then there are vining plants that are not traditionally planted in rows like squash, cukes, etc. I am thinking when they came up with the term "row crop" they were thinking pre-tractor and pre-big agriculture and were using a garden plot kind of thinking. I also have it in my head that corn was pretty much the standard and that when they identified something as "one row" or "two row" they were pretty much referring to how many rows of corn it was set up for and you had to do some mental calculating to see if it would work in other situations. I have no proof or documentation, just years of experience, observation, and picking a lot of good gray-headed brains every chance I got. What does yours say to the above?
