We used a 2 row check planter. This was a project for our club as most of us had never seen it done. It is a hill drop planter. Plants 2-3 seeds per hill every 40 inches in 40 inch rows making a checkerboard pattern if it's done right. The planter runs off a wire that trips the seeding mechanism and must be moved over at the end of each pass.
Confused now? We may try it again next year.
A lot of dryland crops failed in this area. you should see my conventional planted corn, it is a lot worse. No, Gary. we opted to use Round-up ready corn and stay out with the cultivator. Stirring up the ground would only loose more moisture. I sprayed once and it stayed pretty clean til after polination.
