West Union, Illinois | magnumman - I wanted them Untreated, but turns out they treat everything! Then saw they are only 130K per unit. I'll tell you what I was told years ago. Turn your planter down 10% then plant Beck's beans. Next year turn it down 10% again. If you can plant with a consistent depth and spacing you can probably reduce your population 10-30% and not hurt yields. Might even raise the yields. My first year planting Beck's beans we got a very large seeded variety, and my 5500 SoybeanSpecial with SI belt meters couldn't handle them. I got a planted population of about 100,000. Made 62 bu/acre. At the time that was our personal record. |
