We have a couple of 36 row planters in my neck of the woods, one of them planted my farm for a couple years so I worked around it mostly tending seed. For one thing, with a 36 row, it's a LONG walk for the tractor driver when he gets out of the cab and goes back around the end of the planter to check the seed depth, something not many people think about. It the marker is down it's a LONG, LONG walk. Even in my neighborhood where we have some 320 acre and bigger fields, but mostly 160 acre, I don't think a 36 row is more efficient considering the transport time between fields that can be planted in two hours and the amount of seed tending equipment and labor to run the tender. When the planter moves to a new field, so does the support equipment. If a couple of guys have to run back to the last field to get a pickup that was left behind, they will be too late getting back to tend the planter. They also need a tremendous amount of horsepower working ground ahead of the planter. That's two tractors and a man in each tractor. A 36 row is impressive to watch for sure but I'm happy with being back to planting my own land with a 12 row. I can barely remember dad planting with a wire but I wasn't very old at the time so we have come a long ways.

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
