In the mid-1980's we used a modified check row planting system in seed corn test plots. The knot on the wire tripped a solenoid which opened a seed cup that dropped a set number of seeds onto a cone-shaped planter plate that then dropped the seeds individually down the seed tube. Two row narrow planter. The rider on the planter had the seeds prepared, a certain number of seeds counted into two small paper envelopes, sealed and stapled together, strung on a string in order for the plot. After each seed cup dump, he tore open the next two envelopes and poured the contents into the cup for the next plot. I think the knots were 10 feet apart? If the driver of the 3020 was in a hurry, you could barely keep up tearing and dumping and holding on. We planted into rows laid out by the farm owner, who pre-planted the plot with his normal corn planter minus the seeds, so the test plot got the same field treatments like pre-emerge and fertilizer that the rest of the field got. The rider had to jump off at the end of each row and move the wire stake over two rows and hook it back into the planter then climb back on. Hot, dusty work.
