Awesome, so where do we look for info on canola
vaccum planters. Was at agritechnica 2 years back
and horsch was claiming that you could seed down
to 2.5 lbs with no yield drag, but have no clue where
that was done, and what are yield benefits? Canola
is such a weed I can't see it being so important to
yield like corn spacing.

We will be talking about our experiences, the pluses and minuses. For the most part the planter industry is still in the early stages of working with canola.The research planter is there to hopefully answer some of the questions you ask.
