      Planter

      Everything I grow except hay goes through the same old White planter. 30" corn and azuki beans, 15" soys and 10" winter wheat although every third wheat row goes through the dry fert box. Next spring the row units will be on a frame I designed so I can twin row the corn and azukis on whatever spacing I want.

        Don't stop sharing information furrow. I can't speak for everyone obviously but I appreciate the information. Its always good to learn. Too many guys are close minded.

          Times 2. Some needed to be viewed like the old question. If a tree falls in the forest and there is nobody there to hear it,does it make a sound. Its always good to hear what others are trying.

            Furrow I thought the information and pics was awesome. Craig Shaw from Lacombe has been doing trials for a few years comparing results between using a planter and an air drill for canola. I have certainly considered having 2 drills, one for cereals and one for canola. Unfortunately I am to small of an operator to justify that. Looking at JDGreen's pics maybe the seedmaster is the best compromise. Seedmaster is more affordable than a bourgault.

              I see guys protilling in the fall entire fields ....seeding with bourgault drills ...and harrowing after....


              I thought the practice was long gone.

              Ask yourselves this....if you burnoff... float the fertilizer ....and seed with discers. ...do you think the crop would be any worse for the equipment costs?

                  For sure furrow ....keep posting....

                  It only takes one field to start a trend.

                  The planter spaces perfectly and depth control is good if I read and see right.

                      Yes Furrow keep posting! Your posts get me thinking of how I can improve things around here and find them valuable.
                      I sure can't help but notice that the people that are dry and want rain real bad sure have nice looking canola!
