We used to list our corn. That means that the corn was planted in trenches about 8-10 inches below the the average surface level of the soil. Excess soil was ridged between the rows. First cultivation involved in scouring the ridges to eliminate weed germination. These required a specially designed cultivator referred to in our part of SD as an eli but in other areas as a go-dig. That resulted in a limited amount of soil to fall in the trench to somewhat cover weeds that tended to germinate slower than the corn. Next cultivation was to flatten the ridges that eliminated weeds on the ridges & cover weeds in the trench. The corn was approximately 4-6 inches tall at this point.

Usually no chemical control for unwanted plant invasion was needed as appropriate tillage at the right time eliminated the need for chemicals. An eli was able to be adjusted to do this job quite efficiency.

We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
