Side by sides

[Sodbuster]

Results confirmed my thoughts on cereals wide spacing, though I did not think they that the spread would be that large. I think that even at 12” versus 12” paired you would see a few bushel increase flavouring paired. Thanks for posting your results, these side by sides and plots take a lot of effort and time and and am sure that a lot of us Agriville members appreciate your hard work.

Was this hard red or cps? Very good info! Have had a 10” paired row flexicoil 5000 for quite a few years, and bought a seedhawk 12” space with single row openers. Debating putting paired row on. Looks like it will pay to do so.

HRSW , wheatland
Was our driest field so I thought the wider rows would be closer in yield .
But it comes down to heads ft2 I guess
Also zero weed growth in the paired row and some in the 15 in .
The only difference in fertility was the bourgault set up for dry and liquid (Alpine) phos
So we adjusted the dry phos rate on the SM to match as close as the bourgault.
Not sure if that mattered but still I was surprised the spread

Thanks for your work and posting results.

I have often thought I need 2 different drills, one for cereals and one for canola. I think the Seedmaster with 15 inch spacing would make a great canola drill. Apparently not the drill of choice for cereals. In my case I do not farm enough acres to justify the expense.

That field caught some of the big rain closer to NB , 2 in more than home only 3 miles away . 7-10 bus better.

It went into dry spell with 7.5 in rain
Closer to home was about 5.5 -6

I would think RM Meota graph hung in there a little longer ?

Makes sense we tailed off fairly quickly
