Ya. Guess I missed the joke, thought you were serious. Same thing here. My FIL after 20 some years still can’t back out of my driveway without going into the yard because we built the house angled to take advantage of the breeze, he’s been a row crop guy for over 80 yrs. 3rd. gen. My wife is the 4th. We just make fun of the guys with snake rows.Hey bud I know it was late but the crooked row thing is a joke we’ve been making for generations (literally) to excuse our crooked rows. Straight rows were a point of pride among old farmers. Now we just hit a button and they’re pretty straight.
We’ll burn 20-22 gallons per hour planting and cover 37-39 acres an hour, not counting turning and fill time, so driving a little crooked isn’t a factor for fuel, just pride.
Just worked on a county tile that was installed in 1894, not great but still working, we intend to have at least a hundred year life out of what we put in.
If you’re really loosing topsoil every year you can probably just dig down and cover up the wide cracks, except for the occasional broken tile. But at some point it becomes more economical to just replace with new.
They should have plugged that old cement tile when they replaced it with the new, all that soil ends up in the open ditch then they have to dip it every few years, more tax dollars wasted. Alright no problem and no hard feelings just a misunderstanding. Take care.
