How deep to plant soybeans?

[danny W1M]

Would/do you plant them deeper than wheat?

I would typically plant my peas the same depth as wheat, then the peas are rolled adding a bit more ground on them. #5 on my Bourgault drill.

1.5" +/- 1/4

I would seed them the same depth as wheat, no deeper than 1.5 inches

Delek is right. If you need to go deeper to find moisture you can go 2" . This assumes your seeding on the dry side and not creating large clods of mud that can inhibit emergence of any crop type. Beans are amazingly strong plants, literally moving soil as they push thru.

Thing is I'd probably only seed wheat about a 1/2 inch deep. Should beans be seeded a full 1 inch deep then, regardless of moisture?

Avoid putting them in powder, will never germinate like wheat and canola that can sprout with minimal moisture. Packnthem into moisture if you can. I seed wheat 1 - 1.5". Beans always deeper than wheat, 1.25 to 1.75". 2" if there is no moisture and concerns of 80k winds blowing out the seed after the land has been rolled. Im on heavy black red river gumbo soils. If you are on anything lighter than this no problem seeding 1.75 2".

Good moisture here even with 2 weeks of wind. Set the drill down to plant about 1 inch. Rain forecast for the weekend, so hoping not too many will get drown out. Rookie grower here.
Thanks for the comments.
