First of all, I"m a no till and drill kind of guy. My best results in soybeans were in 40" conventional, 40" notil, and then 30" no til. Splitting rows with a 40 or 30" planter was a blazing disaster for me as the compaction on our heavy soils cut yields way more than the gain (25% yield loss). One reason that I had so much better luck with the wider rows is that it fits my wheel spacings so much better to go back in.

As far as weed control. I tank mixed a burn down of Roundup or Gramoxone with Canopy and Lasso MC (when I could get it) and Dual when I couldnt. Then over the top with Poast or Fusilade if I needed it. I never tried the RR, it came out after I went to forage type beans.
