Planting Soybeans June 17th 2024

Finally planting soybeans. Using a John Deere 5067E and my 7000 planter. Planting on 30 inch rows.

Man yeah Mr Bill, I love your no influence approach to doing what works best for you!! Looking fwd to seeing those beans up and growing!! I can totally understand the planter approach, vs the controlled spill of the drill!! I bet that was nice when that shower came up to have the cab😉😁 Thank-you sir for bringing us along, look fwd to seeing what's next!! 😁😁🇺🇲🇺🇲🌾🌾🚜🚜🫛🫛🌽🌽

Nice video Bill, the rain will give the planted fields a good head start, hope you can get the last beans in quick

@jankotze1959 Thanks Mr. Jan. Everything is planted and the beans are looking good. Have a really good stand.

I personally plant 15 inch rows. I recently did a video on the new(to me) White planter with a splitter I bought this spring. I really like it. HOwever, there are a lot of people around our area, including my good friend Cory, who plant 30 inch rows, so a lot of people believe in them.

Bill I am just a lazy old man but I think if I could stand on the ground and reach info the seed bag I'll be dogged if I'd climb up and down

hi how is the soybean crop doing take long to grow and put fertlizer and lim on the field first . where is this farm and beans go to whne ready pay good thanks for posting

Does your 8300 have pack wheels on it? If it doesn’t, adding them or pull a cultipacker behind it would help a lot. We get a really good stand with a IH 5100 soybean special with press wheels. Same basic design as the 8300. As far as 30s go we shoot for 120-125k. Seed cost savings planting 30s is a big plus. Didn’t do any 30s this season though. Planning to notill a lot of 30s next season.

@bandyfarms6155 My 8300 doesn't have any pack wheels. It has drag chains. I think you are right about the cultipacker. Behind the 8300 I think I have a lot of beans that aren't deep enough and the ground dries and no germination. Do you do any fungicide on your beans? Is it worth the cost?

[@BandyFarms]

@@stinsonfarms6724 never done fungicide on soybeans or corn. A lot of people say it isn’t worth it on beans but some people swear by it. I’m curious myself though.
