Several years in a row over different varieties 15" rows at 125K - 150K has clearly became the leader in yield and ROI throughout a very large part of the Midwest especially in the Eastern corn belt.

In 1980, here in northeast arkansas I had finished planting cotton on 38 inch rows, before dinner I went to the shop and began to change to bean plates. My dad pulled up and said don't worry about changing plates. I turned and look at him and he said we're gonna drill them. I said 800 acres Knowing all we had was a 13 foot old John Deere drill that belonged to my Grandfather who had been dead for 15 years. About that time our international dealer pulled into the yard with a 20foot Great Plains drill with 6inch spacing and unloaded it. WAS A Godsend planted the whole 800 acres of beans. Got a stand and the drought hit. No rain 2months of 100 plus temperatures etc. That was the 2nd worst year we ever had 10 bushel per acre yield. BUT THAT WAS 3 TO 4 BUSHEL BETTER THAN EVERYONE ELSE IN 36 AND 38 INCH ROWS BEAN PLANTS TWO SHORT TO GET IN THE HEADERS!!!!

7.5's John Deere 750 baby!

I planted on 38” rows with a strip till/planter combo on 25% of my acres this year where compaction was a concern behind a wet cotton harvest and planted 75% with a no till drill set up on 15” rows and I’ll say this, I won’t plant on 38’s anymore. Took forever to shade the row out and where we Gabe deer issues they didn’t canopy at all. 15” rows look amazing. Best crop of soybeans I’ve had in years. BUT! The combine will tell the tell. I do think I’m going to plant on 38” twin row next year. I planted twin row last year and lived it. I’m on 38 twin row which works great in corn and peanuts, but also soybeans. With the twin row and 38 you’re really 30” rows when the take the 8 inches out it’s offset from center.

7.5 inch notill has been our best ROI for sure

Good farming ideas

How can I tell Sudden Death Syndrome apart from normal yellowing of soybeans during maturation?
