The 15 in spacing and 12 in paired row side by side ..


Did a pass up and back on both sides
12 in paired row was 2 bushels more
Much closer than last year , but this year we were able to do exactly the same fertility at seeding time .

Was an interesting, busy couple days before these rains set in

Are you happy with the paired row? Do you think its better then the regular offset single row?

[furrowtickler]

Very happy with the paired row .
Just thought we would try the single 15 in out of curiosity more than anything.
Basically, if that tractor or wheat seedling outfit goes down , we know we can use the 15 in drill if need be . Although swathing would not be an option with the 15 in drill

Does it actually leave a space between the paired row or does it basically just turn into a 3 inch spread?

[furrowtickler]

Two distinct rows at seeding , then fills in during season .

[Hamloc]

Ended up being very close actually , wheatland better by 1/2 bushel
Wheatland better sample
Silas was more chaffy as the top 20% of the head was not filled
Silas had slightly higher protein

No way of knowing but had it rained more would the Silas outyielded the Wheatland in your opinion?

Do you think the paired row handles heavy trash better then the offset opener?

A buddy SW of Battleford has same trial with 3 in more rain . That should be interesting
Yes I think it should
