Question
Grant,

I just got to watch your video from the 22nd of February, great show. I’ve got a new 706NT Great Plains drill for my development work and food plots. You mentioned using a no-till drill in planting your corn. What width row spacing are you using? It looked like there were beans mixed with the corn in one picture. BTW, I met you this weekend at NWTF. Al Stone introduced us. Spook is my partner in a land marketing website.
Thanks,

Jimmy

Jimmy,

I really like Great Plains no-till drills! I block every other down spout in my drill’s seed box when planting corn. This results in 15″ rows. I don’t harvest the corn, so the 15″ rows work great! I have planted corn and soybeans together in the past, but have since determined a better yield for both can be achieved by planting and maintaining each crop separately. Tell Spook and Al I said hello!

Growing Deer together,

Grant
