| about 2 miles away in the middle of June. I got 5 inches of rain and the wind did blow.
It looked like I had about 1/2 pop of beans. I plant 165,000 expecting 150,000 stand. I wish I would have done a stand count, but did not.
I still had 50 + beans, ave. crop. I was expecting 30 bu at best.
Univ of Neb ag college says that you will not harvest 150,000 beans / acres. They will naturally choke themselves out until the pop. is a max of 100,000.
I would take them at 65,000 pop even.
Local coop drilled my beans this year for the 1st and last time. Dry land was to drop 175,000. One pivot corner has a pop of 72,000. Others have a pop of 120,000. Not happy of course. Heck, I could have used my 30 in planter and got that pop and saved a bunch on seed cost. I do expect the coop to compensate for their operational error. They already admitted the down pressure was incorrect during their planting. | |
