The more I know I find out the less I know!

Equipment always varies due to the draft of the equipment down the hill so we can't even set in a set swath width because it varies so much. An air drill behind a cart is crazy variable. I had a hill this spring whew the tractor tracks were higher in the hill than the width of our 50 foot drill. To compensate for hills there is too much overlap in the flat ground for sprayers. Had a group of graduate students from Nebraska one summer visit trying to explain it to them and precision technology was their specialty. Had one gal with her parents visit again this summer.
I have been through that area a few times. Never got to watch machines run on those hills. I had 1 hill side the seeder furrows would cross over each other as I went across it. Only 1. Always had to shut off auto steer on the sprayer as I went over it and never do it with a full tank. Doing that all day long would add some stress in farming. Not sure I would get used to it.
