Stupid electronics. That is the fault screen for my planter. I'm driving along planting corn, everything was working fine and then boom. Everything went wrong for no reason what so ever. Grrrr. I spent 3 hours and looked at every row sensor wire and plug thinking maybe something got pinched or worn and it was shorting out the ecu but I couldn't find anything. Got a tech coming tomorrow.

I always find this kind of thing fascinating. My dad grew up on a tobacco farm and everything back then was so manual ( I can remember the stories he would tell me about plowing with a mule ) and I look at how farming is done today with equipment, GPS and a lot of electronics. It is certainly a different time.

Good luck on getting that problem straightened out Cope.

It most definitely is, especially row crop. We still work hard but some of the manual labor has gone away. Even with cows today, my grandfather and dad used to put up 10 to 15 thousand little Square bales a year to feed cows over the winter. By the time that bale was fed to a cow it was handled 4 or 5 times. Today I feed mostly big round bales, the tractors do the work of lifting and grinding them. There's still plenty of manual labor to do and with the size of farms being much larger than they were 30 years ago, technology helps the time management

there a field behind my house that a fairly large local farm grows hay on every year, they just had the first cut last week and I think they got over 300 round bales.. took about 4 days from start to finish,, many big truck got loaded in that field..
Trantham farms is the local farm that rents a lot of the farm land around here, I think they make feed and sell it, Ive seen their trucks all over the southeast, some of yall may have heard of them..
