In 1980 I'd finished planting cotton 38 inch rows, pulled into the shop and started changing over to bean plates. My dad drove up and said not to worry about that,we were going to drill beans this year. I looked over at my Granddad old 14ft graindrill and I said not with that he said just wait a few minutes. About 30 minutes later Bugs McDonald pulled into the shop yard with a brand new 20 ft Great Plains Drill. We drilled almost 800 acres of beans that year.. it was a bad drought year. Based on what the neighbors said that fall by drilling we averaged 6 to 7 bushels per acre more.. cutting the drilled beans the fed into the hopper thus into the combine.. row beans were so short and they fell in front of the header onto the ground. Thus lost
