Soybeans. This would be another first for me. I scored a good working flex head this past summer at auction. I have all the equipment, near as I can tell. Been reading various extension articles on the subject. Michigan State pretty much tells me what inputs to use based on my soil tests. The elevator guy always has recommendations as to what is working for farmers in my area. Looks like the issue in most articles is row spacing...wide or narrow. I can most easily plant 30" rows. I guess there are half row units you can add to some planters to take spacing to 15". Don't know how feasible this is with either the JD 7000 or the Cyclo 800 planters I have here. The Cyclo has two options for drums...one with single holes, the other with double holes. The latter drops two seeds where the former plants only one. When the tenant on the place planted beans he used a drill and they were some bit closer than 15". He seemed to spray a lot and I was never impressed with the result. Interested in any advice anyone might have. Just a smallish field this first year to see how it goes.

Some purist I'm sure will disagree to no end with what I will tell you but most of us out here in the real world don't really care do we ? Some of them only bring their noses down out of the air long enough to look down them anyway. If you are like me you are only doing this old tractor stuff because you enjoy it. You
