- In this fifth video in our on-farm research series, Marion discusses findings from his decades worth of data on soybean populations and row spacing.
very good Marion. yes farmers need to try stuff. we are working our way down to the low 100's. not many years ago it was 200k drilled, high 170/180 in rows. now we area down to the 120-150k area. keep in mind I have an environment that more times then not we need volume of seed vs a few quality seed produced.
I was expecting you to say you plant 85,000. Wow! I thought I was skimpy at 140,000
Thanks so much for this. I guess my next step is to buy a corn soy planter with 15" and get good depth control and accurate spacing. I no till on clay loam. Any comments on what I need? Trash whippers, coulters, hydraulic down pressure?

Is that 50k on 15” rows or 30”?
