Greenwood County, KS | Hi everyone. We have started raising wheat again and are looking into ways to increase yields. All wheat is no-tilled after soybean harvest, typically in October. We are currently on 7.5 inch rows and am interested in narrow rows. Great plains does make their sd and hd drills in 6 inch rows, although they don’t seen to be very popular.
Has anyone done and comparisons of 7.5 in rows v. More narrow spacing? I do have one farm that was double drilled at 1/2 rate on 10 degree angle, but unfortunately did not do any other test strips with offset double planted rows or anything similar.
Also, if anyone wants to chime in on their experience with great plains 6 inch drills that would be great. We would be looking at the 3s-4000HD or 3s-5000HD.
Thanks in advance. | |
