High Speed Planter
Plant at speeds around 6 MPH instead of the typical 3 MPH of conventional planters. This increased speed allows you to plant 13.1 ac/hr. With the speed doubled, 157 acres can be planted in a 12 hour day, compared to just 78 acres with the conventional 6 row planter.
Plant Stand vs Spacing
Typical Industry Standard: 80% – 85% Plant Stand
Achieving a 5% gain on 1,000 acres results in an additional 50 acres of plant stand.
50 acres * 450 cwt/acre = 22,500 cwt
22,500 cwt * $10/cwt = $225,000 Increase
