Not a lot of fields of beans this year, down here. The fields I do see look to be beautiful stands, but now we're coming to crunch time, when they really need the water. Tap been turned off for the last two weeks, yes they root well, but to see the yield that pays big, you need those late summer, early fall rains.

This will be the first time in years where they may actually fill here
We just do the 20 ac plot now until we get a consistent variety.
They are around 3.5 to 4 ft tall and podded very well . The 2 early varieties should do very well here without a frost in 14-20 days

Originally posted by beaverdam View PostFurrow, were the drills equipped with similar openers?
The bourgault has 3.5 “ paired row on 12 in space
The SM SR had single row 15 “
Dutch is working on a paired row opener for the SM SR so we will see
Would mainly be using the SM for canola , peas and beans if we go that rout instead of planter .
Just keep using the ole bourgault for cereals and plots where needed

I found this interesting all year ..
One section of the seed master ran out of dry phos in their last pass
Showed up just after emergence
Shorter , thinner and more weeds now

Seed Master at 4 lbs
Seed Mater at 4.5 lbs
As seeding rate goes up , stalks get smaller . That’s normal
Wish we did a 3 and 2.5 with SM SR now but thought the seed was too big for that low of rate without a planter . Seed size was 6.7 TKW

Furrow the Seedmaster 15 inch looks pretty good, yields will be interesting to see on the wheat.
The germ on the canola looks pretty good on the Seedmaster as well. The biggest advantage I see with the Seedmaster over the Horsch is one pass vs two. Thanks for the pictures.

I tried soybeans once.
Not only is it the growing season, it's the moisture seasons. We traditionally dry out just when they need peak water. And don't even bother not seeding them with a planter.
More to it than heat units. Pioneer even had a program to buy them one year. Not one acre since.
Fun to grow and harvest but no money.
