Why not use 7.5’s? Technically if u plug the rows - double the rate. If it were ME…. I’d run 7.5’s with a really good pre-emergent herbicide blend.My great plains drill gives a setting rate for 7.5 inch rows, and I plan to use 15 inch rows. Anyone have a good setting for drilling in soybeans with this drill?
I have the rate drawn on inside of my 606nt. Will try to remember to look tonight.Why not use 7.5’s? Technically if u plug the rows - double the rate. If it were ME…. I’d run 7.5’s with a really good pre-emergent herbicide blend.
If you are running 15” so u can drive down rows without crop damage …. I get it. U could do 7.5’s with pre emergent & only need to respray once & just run your spraying opposite way or rows & have fairly minor loss. Beans fill in pretty good, especially when drilled
Seed rate for corn and beans should be by Population. So you need to know the unit weight which will be on bag. In high deer density areas I run beans at 180,000 pet acre.I just sprayed with round up and 24D.. I'll plant the 7.5 with pre emergent. Do you guys go with around 80 lbs per acre to account for deer damage? 12 acres.....
Agreed, but they give settings in the manual by pounds per acre.Seed rate for corn and beans should be by Population. So you need to know the unit weight which will be on bag. In high deer density areas I run beans at 180,000 pet acre.
Read closely what iowabowhunter1983 said.Agreed, but they give settings in the manual by pounds per acre.
