Extreme southeast Nebraska | I'm putting air clutches on my planter to be automatically controlled by an Insight monitor. The GPS input I currently have is a 5Hz Smart antenna . Does anyone have a recommendation or experience as to the minimum number of rows a section of the planter could contain and still provide satisfactory control of lapping/skips? I was initially planning on setting my 12 row planter to four 3 row sections. How much less satisfactory would the results be by going to six 2 row sections? Is delay time the big variable? Finishing interior rows hours or days after doing the turnrows is a common occurrence. I'm assuming a faster 10Hz receiver wouldn't make any substantial difference. Is a subscription signal or RTK the only satisfactory way to go to six 2 row sections? I plant mostly in hills with terraces containing point rows. Going from 3 rows (7.5') to 2 rows (5') sections doesn't seem big, but do the misplanting errors increase significantly to become unacceptable?
