Hey John,

That dry land farming is a whole 'nother kettle of fish. Thanks be to the one upstairs who makes all the rules that he protected me from that sort of thing. :>)

Those drylanders farm round and round in circles, they farm in lands, they let ground lay idle for a year. I've heard stories of them plowing with an H, or better yet, and get this, three bottoms behind an M!

They even farm on hillsides and use a crazy gizmo called a field cultivator! Go figure; I've just never understood 'em. :>)

Depends on the cultivator you have, I would suppose; if it is a belly mount or a tug-behind, yes right up on that furrow. Also, they used to have cultivators that rode clear out in front of the tractors and were steered by the tractor as well.

Me thinks it was probably easier to cultivate (or plow corn, as they used to call it) listed corn when the horses walked the ridge. :>)

Get a surface planter; life is so much easier. :>)
