Subject: RE: Drill or planter for soybeans


The drill planter debate is interesting. Back in the 80's all the testing done always indicated that drilled beans out yielded wider rows, especially 30" rows. I realize a guy can get by with lower seeding rates with a planter, but if it means reduced yield, it still wouldn't be profitable. And I would think there would be higher maintanance costs on a planter as well, especially a 15" planter. So what has changed? Everyone here used to drill beans, and I'd say maybe 1/2 now are in 15" rows. No 30" rows here at all.
