Thanks, I appreciate it. Yes it’s a 10ft. We have been looking at potentially buying a 15ft in the future

what weight per acre did you plant them?

@RouthFarms Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the comment. So when planting soybeans we don’t go by weight, we go by plants per acre. Typically for us we are shooting for 140,000 seeds per acre. The weight can differ a lot depending on the size of the seed, etc. this year one bag unit of beans I had was around 59 pounds per 140,000 seeds.Many others plants more or less. A grain drill like this isn’t very accurate so we have always felt the need to plant higher populations so that we get a more uniform emergence and quicker canopy. If that didn’t answer your question feel free to let me know. Sometimes I’m not the best at explaining myself so other understand.
