I have planted cover crops (cereal rye) with my 15 soybean planter. Planter is a John Deere 7000 six row planter set on 30. Planter has 5 splitter units between each row for 15 soybeans. Kinze Manufacturing brush (soybean) planting meters are on each row. There is a company called Seed Rite that sells a backer plate that goes on the outside of the Kinze plate to keep the little seeds from falling through and or gettting caught in the little notch. I have always used the black 60 cell plates but others have had success with the blue Kinze plate (48 cells) as well. I can't remember if I wanted about a bushel an acre, but what ever it was it was right on. Planting depth with a planter is much more accurate. I have neighbors that broadcast on top and maybe only 50% grows. Since more of the seed germinates you can cut back on seed slightly. Also, for planting cover crops you all ready own the planter so why buy a drill or custom hire it done. For cost share through the NRCS/Soil Conservation Districts 15 inches is the maximum allowable width. I believe Kinze is now actually selling plates for small grains that fit on their new planting units. I have heard that there is quite a bit of wheat now being planting this way (15 rows).

Today's Featured Article - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. 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
