Moisture availability is the key to getting soybeans off to a good start. They need it to germinate properly and emerge.
But how deep should you plant to tap into the moisture the seed needs for strong plant stands and high yields? On this episode of RealAgriculture's Soybean School, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs soybeans specialist Horst Bohner shares what he learned from his 2020 planting depth research trials.

In our sandy loams no till since 1980. Every thing planted 2 inches deep.

it's not only how deep to set the gauge wheels, but down pressure is a major variable as well. Some spots you might dig up seeds that are deep enough but other areas of the field the disks aren't getting deep enough

A rule of thumb, if you see a bean on top of the ground every once in awhile, you are at the correct depth but never deeper then 2" max! If you get a pounding rain and the beans are deeper then 2", you are screwed the rest of the summer...

Soybean acres in NB are small compared to other provinces. Some farmers are using grain drills to plant soybeans. Is there significant soybean yield differences between using a drill compared to using a planter?

You definitely save money on the seed you use because a planter is much more accurate. A drill is just a controlled “spill”. Never went side by side but you are definitely optimizing each seeds growth potential using a planter but some people still use drills and air seeders here in southern Ontario as well.

Indian farmers are missing such important data. I am too. Farmers are poor in both wealth and education so they aren't in situation to research more but most frustrated thing is the corrupt administrators and politicians.
