I leave the marker down for two reasons. I havent come to completely trust the auto steer though it works fine. Second reason is For once, after 45 years of planting I can look ahead at a STRAIGHT mark. LOL When I plant end rows I could save the old line and go to adaptive curve, I believe it s called so auto steer will follow curves. I did use it once, worked great but it s easier to use the marker. Last spring while planting beans I turned around in the seat to watch the planter and in doing so I accidentally stepped on the foot switch and cancelled the auto steer. I watched the planter for awhile and when I turned around to look ahead I was pointed northwest instead of north. OOPS! And of course those rows were by the road. I am running on WAAS, it runs pretty darned accurate and The signal is free.
Last year I planted a 33500 pop but I backed it down a bit this spring. The talk in this area is the higher pops arent bringing in more yield for our soil type. This planter has electric motors driving the units so I can dial in a different pop for every row if I want to but I have never had the reason to do that. The picture is a little blurred. The evening light was fading away causing the camera to leave the shutter open a little l longer and i was jiggling and moving a little from the tractor motion. Took me six tries to get one this clear.

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of David Brown - by Samuel Kennedy. I was born in 1950 and reared on my family�s 100 acre farm. It was a fairly typical Northern Ireland farm where the main enterprise was dairying but some pigs, poultry and sheep were also kept. Potatoes were grown for sale and oats were grown to be used for cattle and horse feeding. Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
