Haystack uses his drill like I would plant cotton or other row crops.

I plant wheat by simply starting at the outside of the field and working my way in, traveling in a counter-clockwise direction. Just before I complete the circle, I turn to where I am lined up with the outer edge of the drill sowing preferably 6-8" inside of the inside row of the previous round. I keep making circles until the field is covered. There will be a gap where corners are made, so I then proceed to cover the corners by starting in the center, driving to the corner covering the left side of the gapped area, turning at the corner, and then coming back covering the rights side of the field. In a square field, it resembles the shape of an "X". It's hard to describe, but if I can find an aerial picture of one, it would make a lot more sense.
