1. A method for performing agricultural tasks in a field on which plants are planted or will be planted in a pattern, the method comprising:
providing a machine with first, second, and third units, the first, second, and third units disposed at a multiple of an adjustable offset from each other in a forward direction of travel of the machine, the units disposed so that an end of the first unit is a first distance from a tool bar of the machine, an end of the second unit is a second distance from the tool bar, and an end of the third unit is a third distance from the tool bar, wherein the first, second, and third distances differ from each other;
providing a control unit in communication with the machine and the first, second, and third units;
determining, with the control unit, a selective location corresponding to the pattern; and
activating, with the control unit, the first, second, and third units at the selective location to perform the agricultural tasks as the machine travels along plant rows defined by the pattern, wherein the first, second, and third units are activated in the forward direction of travel along the plant rows.
