Most folks I know just keep up with it in their head. If a guy has enough ground I guess a map would be a good idea. Even though I don't have but a very few row crop fields I do keep a map with fields numbered on it and a record of soybean and corn numbers that have been in that field and how they did. If a corn variety didn't do well at all in a field one time I do not want to put it there again unless there was some odd ball reason why it didn't do well. I also use the map with numbers to keep track of soil samples and other field info. For most of my row crop ground I try to flip flop between corn and beans every year but some of my ground is pretty soggy so some times I have to go beans after beans on some if it.
What I really have to watch is tobacco. I will put tobacco in the same spot two years in a row but want at least 4 years of something else(shoot for 6). I have to keep in mind where I am going with tobacco next year and not put too much chemicals on the corn or if it's pasture I don't want to put any high dollar clover seed where it will be. Also have to keep in mind where the tobacco will be and not plant corn up hill from it. (I had tobacco down hill of corn two years ago, a big rain ran over the diversion ditch. I thought the tobacco drowned for a while cause it will not take alot of water but the morning glories and rag weeds died too!)

I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
