Northeast Missouri | Somewhere around here is a Crops book from Successful Farming from the early 50's. One article I remember was "Yields Are High Where The Rows Are Wide". Pictured is a two-row mounted picker picking one row, so the rows would have been 80 inches apart. Also mentioned are farmers looking for and using single-horse drills to drill various "green manure' crops between the rows, one pair of rows at a time.
With all the technology available now it's often a good thing to look back sometimes and see where we came from. There truly is nothing new under the sun.
