What do you guys recomend for planting depth on soybeans using a planter, has been plenty wet so when I do get it the feild want to do everything possible to get it right the first time! Thanks

beans you want to plant shallow. Half a inch to Inch and a half.

Old school rule of thumb, get out and walk down a row and if you don't occasionally see a seed you need to shallow up some.

Just remember that when a bean emerges it has to push the seed out of the ground, (first two leaves are what is left of the seed).

jt is right but you have to get the seeds in moisture. Or hope for a rain after planting.
