Morris, IL
I ran some 60-67 yesterday which was closer to 40lb. (don't quote me) that i planted pretty thick (non flex number), but anyway Agleader advanced monitor was telling me 12-13 was the best spot, this was 37-38k at 4mph. Then again i remember planted some 61-69 few years ago about midnight trying to finish before a rain and i had to run almost 25 to keep monitor happy.

Soybean with the JD 108, heck just turn the vacuum on and it will plant real good. I've yet to really see much difference between 5 and 15 but i run in that 10 range. If i just turn my vacuum on as slow as it goes it will run 8" once cells are loaded but once you get moving it runs down to around 5". Eset doesn't seem to "eat" vacuum as much. I plant 2000-3500 seeds per pound, besides about twice the seeds on boards i can't tell the difference. Corn population with 30 cells to bean population with 108 is 3.6x.
