That 70 feet must accommodate turn-around room for the tiller on each end of the row and a path along one edge to move equipment and other traffic.<br /><br />Between the two issues (turn around room and traffic lane) I lose 10 feet.<br /><br />Regarding production, I did way better than I deserved. We had perfect rain. And although my weed and bug control was minimal, my timing was exquisite. In retrospect, It would be way easier digging them if I had done even a halfway job of hilling them earlier.<br /><br />Thanks for reading. And, especially, thanks for taking the time for commenting.<br /><br />-Joe<br />Eaton Rapids Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09102166969915526172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970975545475697571.post-43913499443003361172014-10-14T20:46:47.923-04:002014-10-14T20:46:47.923-04:00Joe, you probably told us in a past post, but are ...Joe, you probably told us in a past post, but are those rows fifty foot long?
