Im on 30's, 3 years ago I finished up our last bean field around midnight, Had planted all my beans at 150,000. The last 10 acres I was going to run out, so I backed the population down to 118,000.... Ended up 2 bpa better than the 150,000. I now strive for 146,000. Just for emergence in no-till. And conventional till I aim for 135,000.
