What the others said about a landmark I'll add to it. Don't pick out a cow or a tractor on the horizon as they may be moving. Ha. Also don't look back because the tendancy is for you to turn the wheel just a bit when you look over your shoulder. If you have to take a quick glimpse at your implement or something, just let go of the wheel for a second as you do. My first pass is seldom straight anyway so I've gotten good at straightening it out on the next few rounds. To do so just cut your swath down a few feet where its straight which leaves you room to cut a full swath where you need to trim. I usually try to do this on the second and third pass to get it straight right away rather than fight it the width of the field. After that its just little constant trimming that will become second nature and you won't even be thinking about it like driving a car on the highway. Whether your mowing or disking or planting its all the same, never leave a skip so the only way to straighten is to not take a full swath (overlap) and take the full swath where you need to trim. I'll also agree with the other gent and say if you try to hard sometimes it'll make it worse. I'll even go out on a very very thin limb here and say maybe the girlfriend isn't thinking at all as many women are known to do around machinery and so her rows are straight without trying. Ha.

While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
