Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot | For some reason we are the only place in the world that uses tons rather than bushels. I sold last year's wheat last month and I noticed the co-op manager was reading the price in bushels and repeating them to me in tons.
Also plant in lbs, not bushels or seeds/acre. At least that makes it easier since I've never seen a grain drill chart that has anything besides lbs/acre on it.
I always plant 130 lbs. 6" spacing drill, although I am a firm believer in cross drilling. It definitely pays if you have a drill that is capable and the time. Cross drilling also has a better chance at surviving wind erosion, which is the biggest reason why we loose winter wheat here. | |
