North Dakota | To start, I’m talking about doing this with an air drill not a planter with PPs special stuff. I’ve heard of some doing this especially in my world in the northern plains. Some will just do a shut off between tanks on a manual cart or with hydraulic cart meters. Either way, it’s doable for me.
I’m thinking of having a tank of an offensive higher yielding variety which would be about 2/3rd of my acres and a defensive one for my tougher zones. I also could mix them as I want based on other factors depending on how the season goes this spring.
I’d also likely put a higher rate in poorer areas and lower rates in better areas.
Anyone have any success doing this or any tips around it? If you have, was it worth it with yield or more of a pain?
Note: I’m in northern North Dakota, not the corn belt. We have high ph and cold wet spring soils often. This is also a hoe drill and will be solid seeded at 10in spacing so think 200k pop high and 160k low populations maybe. | |
