[AJD] Listed Crop Cultivator

[Terry]

Don and Brad,

That's just like mine.  The lister plants the seed in the bottom of a
furrow, keeping it close to the moisture (in theory).  When the corn is tall
enough, you set the cultivator to push dirt back in to the furrow to help
conserve moisture around the roots, and help support the corn.

Clever, huh?

Terry

Take a look at the following:

This is what I remember a two row lister looked like.  Planted the seed in
the bottom of the row.  Tractors ran on the top of the row to cultivate.

Ok as a non-farmer lurker on this list, I had to see what a Lister was. Just
before Terry's pictures came in I found this site which is pretty good at
explaining to me what one is.
http://www.livinghistoryfarm.org/farminginthe30s/machines_07.html I can only
barely remember the implements that went on my grandmother's 36 F12, and if
I recall they seemed have seats right on the implements. I can only assume
that they were initially for horse drawn use.
