My dad came out from town to watch the planting yesterday and while we were standing there talking I got to thinking about the changes he has seen in the very field we were standing in. He first planted that field with a JD A and 290 JD planter, using check wire and planting corn at a population of about 12000. The ground was prepared with that same tractor and a 12 foot spring tooth harrow. Yesterday the field was being planted with a planter that covered a 60 foot swath,putting 32000 seeds per acre in the ground, being pulled by a tractor that was steering itself while the operator was entering the corn variety into his laptop. The ground was prepared with a 65 foot cultivator pulled by a tractor that also steered itself. Will we see as much change as he has?
I have fun running this new stuff, but I still have more fun wrenching on the old iron.
Jim
