Eastern VA. No such thing as too many Magnums. | Last year I planted in 15" rows with a no till drill. I think it would have been alright if everything would have worked like it should. But my drill isn't accurate enough to suit me, and I also like the depth control of the planter. I had all these Monosem units collecting dust, so yesterday we set up to do twelve 18" rows. We won't plant any beans until last week of June when sweet corn and wheat come off. I'm going to shoot for 150,000 on the irrigated stuff. I think the later you plant, the tighter the rows should be. 18" is a little wide for as late as I'm planting, but we're gonna try it anyway. If you plant in May, I think 7.5 is too tight. Here's a picture of what we set up yesterday.
