When I was a kid my dad drove around looking at other farmers work and would make comments on how crooked some rows were also how straight they drove fitting ground as well. When I started fitting ground at 8 years old dad would stop and chew me out for driving crooked. He said to sight over the radiator cap at a tree, rock, tall weed or whatever you could pick out in the distance that would cause you to be in the right place at the other end. He told me that looking close to the tire would make me dizzy. When planting corn with a two row planter on a side hill he would move the front tractor tires over on the high side of the marker mark to compensate for the planter to track down. At 70 some I still sight ahead even mowing lawn. If I mow a large yard in lands I get upset with myself if I have a tapered center. I pace off and mark both ends of a field I am going to plow so my dead furrows are straight.
It only makes a difference if you choose to have it make a difference. Most people would not even notice if you drive/plant straight in this day and age.
