When big circle watering of farm crops is used, does the plowing,
seeding, and fertilizing apply to the whole surrounding square, or only
to the circle as best they can.

Somone on the radio says that it's the square, but I've assumed that
farmers, especially those with GPS-equipped tractors, but also those
without (since cirular watering long preceded GPS), do as little excess
as the farmer's abiltity to see where the circle is while driving the
tractor, and as the width of the plow, seeder, fertilizer can make
happen.

If I can get a good answer here, I'll be happy, but if not, I'll stop
the car and check next time I'm near one of thes things.


Many circular sprinklers have end segments that rotate out to hit the
corners better.

proper spreader , proper job but it doesn't matter much ,
it's not like you're going to miss an acre or more ,
so you over seed or under seed a corner , big woof ,
water everything any way you can and if the wife's not busy ,
bring her out and water her too
