[QUOTE="ChrisB, post: 610159, member: 122"] Okay Ace, 1 acre = 43,560 sq.ft.; at least here in Minnesota, not sure about Alabama. So 15 Acres = 653,400 sf. A 4 row 30" planter covers 10', so going 3 mph (number you used, I go faster) you can cover 158,400 sf. per hour. So 15 acres is going to take a minimum of 4 hours. That's straight driving time, no turning around on each end of the field, and no stopping and filling seed and fertalizer boxes. In all reality planting 15 acres of corn with a 4 row planter is probably going to take closer to 6 hours. Not trying to be a jerk about it. I'm guessing you just misunderstood your dad when you overheard him talking to some other adults about planting speed. Not a big deal. Have a nice Christmas. [/QUOTE]
