I am thinking about a 30inch row soybean planter. Right now I am planting 38 inch rows(corn)with a 7200 deere planter and do not want to narrow it to 30's because my combine,chopper,corn picker and snaplage equipment would all have to be changed or replaced.I plant 90a of corn and 60a of soybeans.I have been splitting the rows to give me 19 inch bean rows but it is very slow. I also farm some bottom ground and have been having some white mold issues that my neighbor who plants 30 inch rows seems to avoid. I did combine a few 30 inch rows last fall and liked it. I was thinking of buying a 7100 four row planter and setting it up to notill beans. I would also be adding row cleaners. Anyone have a reason why I would not like this setup? I also considered a 7000 but all in my area are standard frame planters so it takes alot of work to change them to 30 inch rows(cutting the axle and and moving the mountings).I am on a budget so a six row is out of the question but a 4 row 30 will still be faster than what I am doing now. I thought about 38 inch row beans but am afraid I might loose to much yeild. I also like the idea of 30's as I might experiment with broadcasting a cover crop in them at leaf drop. Thanks Tom

I had heard rumours that an old Case Model C was languishing away in the back of one of the outbuildings there. So off I went in search of what would turn out to be a very rare and unusual tractor. Mr Kendall is an excitable chap to say the least. He is amongst the last of a dying breed of farmer who
