My dad explained check row planting to me, as I'd never seen it. The idea about having to set up the check wires with the "knots" to trip the planter, and then taking 'em down and storing them until next planting season seems to be fairly labor-intensive...but being able to cultivate 3 ways sounds pretty neat.

Dad told me about going to Iowa in 1946 for the funeral of his uncle, who had been Ringgold County sheriff, and seeing all the checked corn...and about how it rained, and folks went to the funeral on steel-wheeled tractors to be able to drive thru the black "gumbo" mud that occurred. Around here, black soil is something you go to another part of the country to see.
