Having the right plates really helps. One year when I was going to farmers markets in town three days a week I planted with a 494a John Deere 4 row planter. I put green beans in one of the outside rows and corn in the other three.I planted 8 rows every week to ten days for about two months and it worked fairly well. We had 1 row of beans then 6 rows of corn, from then on it was 2 and 6 till the end of the season. I did start planting sweet corn about month earlier than green beans and planted beans a week or two later in the fall due to frost.It didn't work out real well since I went to work in town in 1987 and have not gardened much since. My cousins still truck farm and use a John Deere 7000 4 row for both sweet corn and green beans, but they plant about 75acres of corn and 8 to 12 green beans. They use a cole seeder to plant lettuce,kale,turnips radishes, beets,spinach, and things I've never heard of before. They usally buy pelleted seed.
