This response may be a here thing.    Spring of 2019 I was planting beans early.    First week of May, 140,000 pop, 14" rows, then the rain set in.    By the time the planned soybean fields dried out, I was looking at the 1st week of June.    Pioneer's soybean guru for this area advised go to 7" rows and kick the pop. up to 180K which I did.    Two significantly different plantings which yielded the same......meeting my APH.
