SE MN | <p>First year with 20" soybeans this year and I really like it. Still 30" corn. we have had about every row spacing for soy. 36" 30" 20" 15" 10" 7 1/2" over the course of 25 years. speaking for the soybeans think they canopied somewhat faster then the neighbors planted the same day but not sure on his maturity. the reason for all the different attempts at finding the right row spacing for us is ever changing conditions. started with a 36 cause thats what we had then hired the beans planted by two guys with drills on 7 1/2 and one 10 then we bought a 15" kinze but then we were faced with white mold issues so we went back to 30" rows 5 years ago. I think there is something to be said about early planted beans so we decided to buy a second planter for beans and that freed us up to go to 20". Also we have had our best yielding beans we have ever had here. Not saying that it was all the planter but I think it help.</p> | |
