[QUOTE="Brisel, post: 55564, member: 166"] I'm sure that it will grow well. It's just that I doubt that you have a perfectly even seed distribution density, not that it matters in this case for you. The point that the Luddites don't seem to get is that there are savings to be made in products, time, fuel, labour, stress, parts & productivity from more accurately doing this on a big scale. The scale is needed to justify the expense of all these toys. Where the break even point depends on how inaccurate operations were before GPS, the cost & sophistication of the steering kit & how much you use the gear. For a few acres of oats you can't justify the expense. John 1594 - what did you say when mobile phones & the internet became popular? I'll bet you said that you had managed perfectly well without before, yet you have clearly learnt to invest in & use at least one of those. Can you live without it/them now? Probably. Would life be as enjoyable or productive without it? Probably not. [/QUOTE]
