The planter runs off a wire that trips the seeding mechanism and must be moved over at the end of each pass. Confused now? We may try it again next year. A lot of dryland crops failed in this area. you should see my conventional planted corn, it is a lot worse. No, Gary. we opted to use Round-up ready corn and stay out with the cultivator. Stirring up the ground would only loose more moisture. I sprayed once and it stayed pretty clean til after polination.
