Subject: Soybean singulation


ne nebraska
I run a 1770 planter with the esets, and love the job it does in corn, but I never did like the way it metered soybeans. Don't get me wrong, it is so much further ahead than the controlled spill of the old soybean cups, but I liked the way the kinze and deere brush meters drop them in a single row, instead of the triple row like the deere vac meters. I see that precision planting makes a singulator and plate for the eset meter. Has anyone done any testing to determine how important soybean singulation is? I have walked stands of my beans and the spacing could definitely be better, but wondering how important it is. There is such a variety of ways to plant beans and can be so dependent on weather and such, but want to give them the best chance they can have also. This is 50-80 bpa yield potential, irr and dryland, 30" rows.
Curious on thoughts I get about this.
Thanks.
