North shore of Lake Ontario | We did a small test one year with our 750. Twin 7.5"s on 30 in spacing. Worked real hard at getting a decent population . The idea was to prove that spacing was not that important and if I recall correctly that corn yielded pretty well. First crop we had go over 200 was planted with a 1720 flexi-coil using special rollers in the 320 tank. Was kind of like sowing soybeans with a drill. Once you got it dialled in it worked pretty good but change seed lots and the calibration went right out the window.
Grandfather and Dad used a double run Ontario seed drill to plant corn back in the 50's. Drill had attachments to funnel the corn seed into your selected rows. Worked just fine for silage. Used to plant in 28" rows which was unheard of for narrow in that time. |
Planting corn with a notill drill?
