I could write a book about all the stupid things I have done while planting. One memory that sticks in my mind is back when I planted with the IH plate planter and JD A. I planted soybeans into a corn stalk field that had been disked only, no heavy tillage, so the ground was fairly hard. I had the planter depth set accordingly so it would penetrate far enough to get the seeds in and inch or so. Finished that field and went to another field that was fall plowed peat ground, soft as can be. I took off planting along the edge of the field and after 1000 feet or so it dawned on me that I had better check the depth. The seed was at least 3" in the ground, way deep for beans and if we have a hard rain that makes crust those beans won't make it through. So I shallowed it up to the right depth and planted the field. It did not rain for a couple of weeks after that and the first 1000 feet came up with a near perfect stand. The rest of the field was very uneven. You can't out-guess mother nature. Jim
