Subject: Precision planting corn vs just drilling it %yield loss


Pleasant Hills, NSW Australia
Hypothetical situation, a lease comes up for the local paper mill and the deal is they provide land, pivots and water and you have to use the water up so they don't have to treat it and run it back into the river (a huge cost to them, cheaper for them to provide farmland and pivots, collect the lease than treat the water). If you where to double crop corn/barley/beans/canola etc (not sure if this is possible but humour me). How much of a yield loss would you get if you sowed corn and beans with a seedhawk hoe drill on 20" rows (fert down at the same time or most of it) vs a precision planter?
