Did a road trip today from south central MN to west central MN and saw many planters at work. Surprised to see number of rows on a planter varied from 6 up to so many I couldn't get an accurate count while moving by at highway speed.
Made me think of what, if any, is an "optimum" number of rows on a planter? Seems that some of the really big ones would take so much more time to prepare and load that efficiency would suffer. MANY rows have the hassle of transporting, also manuvering in small fields, etc.
What are your experiences?
