Not a tree in sight in the first picture, but plenty
in the second. Very interesting.

I believe it was planter with a drill that has every other row ahead of the other,

When turning the two rows come together. My Kinze planter, I had with splitters for beans, did the same thing on corners.

If you look at the rest of the field it looks like even spaced narrow rows.

Likely seeded with an air drill with banding seed boots. Think chisel plow that puts seed down in a 5 inch wide stripe behind each shank.

My guess would be rye planted as cover crop.

My older brother lived near Buttsville.

calf, sorry can"t answer your question, but would like to say thank you for the link. Always enjoy pictures of semi-contemporary historic places-especially military bases. Strange seeing how they are now compared to when they were very vibrant and alive. Thanks again!

I"m with Gary on that one- on the larger JD drills there are also two rows of row units, and when you turn the front ones crowd the rear ones.

Must have thought the end of the world was coming soon and wanted to be able to see it coming. lol
