Last week I used the Ford 860 and a two row IH corn planter to plant 38 rows of Ambrosia sweet corn. The rows were 180 feet long.
I just got to wondering how far I'll have to walk when I go through each row to hand pick the ears. 1.29 miles and that is half the sweet corn planted.
Was worried after I planted it last week....all we had was rain and a big cool down. Thought the seeds might rot in the ground. Today, I can 'row' the corn and it looks to be a good stand with little loss.
Now, gotta fight the crows, coon and deer. lol!
