I put a reply in the post below but thought maybe I'd better move it up the page. Our tractor club planted 4 acres just so we could see how it was done. The idea was to plant the corn so the rows could be cultivated 4 ways to get all the weeds in the days before herbicides. This was some of the ground that we plowed at our spring plowday. See some of what we are doing at href="http://plowday.com">Plowday.com
We used a 2 row check planter. This was a project for our club as most of us had never seen it done. It is a hill drop planter. Plants 2-3 seeds per hill every 40 inches in 40 inch rows making a checkerboard pattern if it's done right. 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.

In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
