Abstract
A twin row planter (10) includes planting units (20a-26b) arranged in pairs (20-26). Each pair (20-26) is configured and positioned for planting two rows (78,80) of seeds less than about ten inches apart to produce two rows of crops in order to increase the yield of the plot. With this spacing, the rows (78,80) in each pair are close enough to simulate a single row enabling the use of a conventional cultivator, sprayer or harvesting machine.
