When I was in high school during the 80's I worked at Sam Stevens in Lamesa, Tx building sand fighters and stalk cutters. I have literally made hundreds of them.

Seeing this reminded me of the first day my dad put me in the 4430 with 18.4 duals and the new 12 row, row cultivator and said, "Don't run over my beans" and left! That was a big request on a 12 year old with no GPS. Great video. I'm not sure how we could be any more productive as farmers as we can right now! Giant equipment that steers itself sub-inch 99% of the time. It's a far cry from when I was growing up on the open station 4020 swathing fescue for the JD 95 combine or planting with markers!

I think that it is a West Texas regional thing. My wife is from West Texas and that is what she grew up calling it when my late FiL and BiL would have to go do it. It may go by other names elsewhere, especially more arid areas.

How does the GPS account for the curvature of the rows? Does it retain memory from when the field was planted?

It connects to many different satellites, and it uses memory and also longitude and latitude to remember the line that was set previously.

Lamesa? Levelland? BTW, did you dock the wages of the driver who slowed down to cross the place where the runoff had created a ditch? Most 'operators' would have hit it full bore, and let the ILS and seat suspension take up the rough ride.

Seminole, TX. the tractor could handle that ditch but that sand fighter is 72 feet wide, you have to slow down if you don't want to bend everything up.

Plants free of water deficit events more efficiently absorb available plant nutrients enabling plants to achieve their maximum genetic potential. SWRT membranes installed below plant root systems retain water where it falls, providing continuous delivery of drought-free periods up to 3 times longer than intensely irrigated control sands without root zone water retention membranes (Guber et al, 2016).
