Subject: RE: Precison planting does not increase yield.


Victoria Township, North Dakota
When I had air bags on xp row units DB 80 bar, we used to have open trenches and dry dirt around the seed in some situations. Loose seed in the furrow, for me resulted in weaker roots and weaker plants in the fall. Some times a 60mph wind event would happen to crispy dry October 20th corn and drop 25-50% of the ears. By planting my seed tighter, closing the trench and avoiding dry dirt around the seed, I have not dropped ears since installing delta force. Did delta force increase my yield? No it protected rhe yield so i could get it harvested.

Seed to soil contact is 101 corn growing stuff.
