I think I will make a change for next spring. Factory rubber John Deere 7000/Kinze 2000 seem to pack fine (clay) soils from the top down. Then add the fact that places seemed to be wet, so now you are packing wet clay type soils. Sometimes the closing wheels push a wet chunk in the trench. Sort of hard on corn emergence. Finger wheels close the seed trench from below and place loose soil on top. So, I am interested in seeking input from Yesterdays Tractor readers. I do somewhat know the Martin system with the fingers either on both sides or one side with the original closing wheel on the other. I do not know the benefits of one over the other although. I am in a 100% no-till situation. My corn stands have been good, but looking for a more uniform emergence no skips due to emergence problems. My son likes the Dawn curve tine closing wheel. Thanks for your ideas.

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
