Steve being that you will be doing irrigation you will need a bushy soybean to plant in 30" rows so they will fill out and shade the ground, This will help hold moisture in the ground and help keep weeds under control. Now the planter plates you will need are the B2 or B3 plastic plates. Myself I would go with the B3 plates and hears why. A B2 plate is a 24 cell plate that will fit 4 bean seeds per cell, Now the B3 plate is a 32 cell plate that will fit 2 bean seeds per cell. Both will work fine but the B3 plates will give you more uniform seed spacing and that's what it all about. I thing I will tell you is that when you look at you book for the JD 71 units they were set up in pounds of seed per acre. Todays seed is most of the time small seed, Bags use to be sold as 60# bag or a bushel and now are sold as a unit of population per bag and the weight and seed size can very greatly. Sometimes a bag of seed will weigh 41# and the seed is small and sometimes the same population beg of seed will weigh 56# and the seed is bigger, So it a crap shoot year to year for us guys using old plate type planters to plant with. That is why I would go with the B3 plates because of the smaller cell size and more uniform seed spacing.
The picture is a AC 16 cell planter plate a JD B2 24 cell plate and a JD B3 32 cell plate. The AC will have 6 beans per cell and the B2 will fit 4 beans per cell and the B3 will fit 2 beans per cell. I hope this helps. Bandit

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of David Brown - by Samuel Kennedy. I was born in 1950 and reared on my family�s 100 acre farm. It was a fairly typical Northern Ireland farm where the main enterprise was dairying but some pigs, poultry and sheep were also kept. Potatoes were grown for sale and oats were grown to be used for cattle and horse feeding. Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
