So. IL
Can't help you with your settings as we run an older Deere machine with a 200 series Flex platform.

Just out of curiousity, do you know what the population is?

With tall variety soybeans lodging increases proportionally with increases in population. On early season soybeans in drilled 8" rows we shoot for populations around 150,000. At mid season the population increases to 180,000. The late season double crop population jumps to around 225,000. I'll be the first to admit these populations are probably 10-20K higher than absolutely necessary provided an even stand establishes.
