Slowing down could make it worse. I believe the 7000 book suggested 3-5 MPH ( depending on population) for optimum performance with reduced accuracy going out of the range.

I tried a few rounds at 2 MPH when Mr. Childs was all the rage. It was obviously not as even a stand at emergence. Produced lots of picket fence stands with that old planter behind a Super H in 4th wide open; maybe 6.5 MPH.
