The only checked corn I"ve seen in many years is at the University of Nebraska East Campus (ag college) near 36th and Leighton Street. This is only a few blocks from where I live. I like seeing it. I guess they do it to teach the young farmers how it was done in previous times. It is possible that some of these living history farms check corn also. When I was a kid, we had a neighbor who checked his corn (level creeek bottom land). He usually hired me to move the dummy end of the wire. He moved the end he was on. He planted with team of big horses, and supplied me with a saddled riding horse to get across the field. If I rember he paid .25cents an hour. He planted 42inch rows, and 42inches between hills. He said thats how much room his horses needed to walk between the rows. He had a GP John Deere that he plowed and disked with, and he planted, cultivated and hand shucked his corn with his horses.
