Narrow rows yield more

Needham thinks most farmers are aware of the impact forward speed has on yields, and it's very much dependent on drill/air seeder condition and residue levels. He has found that most farmers are doing a better job ballasting their drills and air seeders, according to field conditions and forward speeds, but that row spacing is still an opportunity for many producers. Here, he also narrates his experience working with Great Plains Manufacturing on a replicated wheat row spacing trial, using disk openers.
