Seems a lot of hassle to rent a drill for ten acres. Neighbor offsets the hitch and adjusts the markers so when he turns back and follows the marker guide he overplants in 15 inch rows. I've tried to overplant 15 inch rows without following a marker track. Worked OK but not pretty and certainly didn't often split the rows; the second pass rows wandered back and forth between the previously planted rows. We currently drill at 15 inch and last year cut back population from 160,000 to 140,000. Several heavy rains after drilling and ground crusted pretty bad. Should have remained at the higher population. Drilling in 30 inch rows might be OK using only 100,000, but certainly more risk if using narrrow rows. Not a chance I would do it at either 3.5 or 7 inches. Based on my experience last year I also wouldn't do it at 15 inches. Unless no chance of crusting or you have irrigation, I wouldn't risk 15 inch rows with a planter at only 100,000 population. Thirty inch rows OK.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
