How Low Can We Go?

Critical Factors To Consider
Before committing to a lower seeding rate, consider the following:
• Is the planter tuned up and calibrated for a particular seed lot?
• Does the seed lot have a good seed germ percentage? Be sure to get the actual cool and warm seed germ from your seed distributor for each seed lot.
• How good is the seedbed for conventional or no-till systems? Will the planter work well in that seedbed?
• How good is the seven-day weather forecast? Avoid 40-degree cool nighttime temperatures.
