Run your rows north/south or east/west?

I run my raised beds north-south. I build four-foot wide by sixteen to twenty-four foot long beds separated by four-foot strips of grass. I generally put the taller stuff like corn, tomato and cucumber cages in the western-most beds. 
 
  
Eh...wot?

West to east. Face them the other way and the prevailing West winds will knock down the rows

I plant N to S row plants.  At the ranch is full sun all day but only plant melon, squash and pumpkins there so reallyy doesn't matter what direction.  I have to room there for those vine plants to spread their wings.

Never paid much attention ....more important is (in ohio) full sun......good draining soil.......slope.......how much damaging wildlife is there to deal with.
