Thanks for the link. An interesting site, but unfortunately put together by people who know nothing about agriculture. They interviewed people who do, sometimes misquoting and/or misunderstanding what they heard:
"In later decades, corn heads reached 12-row spans and rotary threshing units used compressed air to more efficiently separate the corn from the chaff."
"... John Deere is offering a 120-foot machine that can plant 48 rows, each 32 inches apart."
