West Union, IOWA FLOLO Farm 52175 | Tim, you just need to Drive faster...~GRIN~
200k going down the seed tube @ 5mph would be the same as 100k at 10mph???
{"keep the tubes full and seed can't bounce"}
This years was the first yr in 5 I've run beans, I started out running a good 6-7mph... by the time I finished the first field I was upto 11 and finished the season that way(cept 1 rain event I threw caution to the wind and hit 14)
On the first field, you can tell lines in stand count 6-7 vs 8-9 vs 11.....
Contrary to the "experts" recs.....I'm glad I went 11 as long as I didn't outrun my DP available...I had some of the best stands I've ever established with a DEERE notill drill when I got up to speed and they even look pretty even after 1 frost and 3 different hail events. |
